  APPEAL FROM THE LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS APPEALS BOARD
                   (CASE NO. AB 2018-169(WH))

                         ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
        (By:   Ginoza, Chief Judge, Wadsworth and Nakasone, JJ.)
               Upon review of the record, it appears that:
               (1) On February 24, 2023, the court extended the
opening brief deadline to March 29, 2023;
               (2) Claimant-Appellant/Appellant Jim Gomez (Gomez)
failed to file the opening brief or request another extension of
time;
               (3) On April 3, 2023, the appellate clerk entered a
default notice informing Gomez that the time for filing the
opening brief had expired, the matter would be called to the
court's attention on April 13, 2023, for appropriate action,
which could include dismissal of the appeal, under Hawai i Rules
of Appellate Procedure (HRAP) Rule 30, and Gomez could request
relief from default by motion; and
               (4) The appellate clerk mailed the default notice to
Gomez at his address on record.      The United States Postal Service
returned the notice as undeliverable, with a notation forward

time expired, return to sender.      Gomez has not filed a notice of
change of address, consistent with HRAP Rule 25(f), and he took
no further action in this appeal.
             Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is
dismissed.
             DATED:   Honolulu, Hawai i, June 22, 2023.
