                      OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I

             STATE OF HAWAI#I, Plaintiff/Appellee, v.
            ROBERT K.R. QUARTERO, Defendant/Appellant

       APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
                        HONOLULU DIVISION
                    (CASE NO. 1DTC-17-073529)

   ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL FOR LACK OF APPELLATE JURISDICTION
   (By: Chan, Presiding Judge, Hiraoka and Wadsworth, JJ.)
          Upon review of the record in CAAP-XX-XXXXXXX, it
appears this court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal by self-
represented Defendant-Appellant Robert K.R. Quartero (Quartero)
from the "Notice of Entry of Judgment and/or Order and
Plea/Judgment" (Judgment) entered by the district court on
January 13, 2020.
          A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after
entry of the judgment appealed from.     Rule 4(b)(1), Hawai#i Rules
of Appellate Procedure (HRAP).    On March 4, 2020, the district
court granted Quartero a 30-day extension to file a notice of
appeal, to March 13, 2020, pursuant to HRAP Rule 4(b)(5).
Therefore, Quartero was required to file a notice of appeal by
March 13, 2020.
          Quartero's notice of appeal was filed on March 18,
2020, 5 days after the extended deadline of March 13, 2020.        The
notice of appeal was untimely.    HRAP Rule 4(b)(1) and (5).
