Heading: Toma’s Appeal

Text: On January 16, 2013, Toma filed a timely appeal to his conviction and sentence. After briefing was completed, Toma filed a timely application for transfer of the appeal from the ICA to this court on October 14, 2013. On November 13, 2013, this court issued an order granting discretionary transfer pursuant to HRS § 602-58(b). The transfer was accepted so that this court could address a purported inconsistency in its case law.5 5 See infra Part I.1. 9  NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST’S HAWAI#I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER  On appeal, Toma asserts two points of error: 1) “[t]he circuit court erred in instructing the jury with complicity because the State failed to provide adequate and fair notice to Toma by failing to allege complicity in the charging document[,]” and 2) there was insufficient evidence to find Toma guilty as an accomplice to the assault.
