       APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
                    (CIVIL NO. 1CC181000180)

   ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL FOR LACK OF APPELLATE JURISDICTION
     (By: Leonard, Presiding Judge, Nakasone and Chan, JJ.)
            Upon review of the record, it appears that we lack
jurisdiction over the appeal by self-represented Plaintiff-
Appellant Truman Lee Ketchmark's appeal from the Circuit Court of
the First Circuit's (Circuit Court) July 21, 2021 "Order of
Dismissal [Rule 41(b)]" (Dismissal Order) because the Circuit
Court has not reduced the Dismissal Order to an appealable final
judgment.   Hawaii Revised Statutes § 641-1(a) (2016); Hawai i
Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 58; Jenkins v. Cades Schutte
Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawai i 115, 119, 869 P.2d 1334, 1338
  NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAI I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER

(1994); Price v. Obayashi Hawaii Corp., 81 Hawai i 171, 176, 914
P.2d 1364, 1369 (1996) (applying the separate document rule to an
order dismissing a complaint for want of prosecution).
          Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that case number CAAP-
XX-XXXXXXX is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
          DATED:   Honolulu, Hawai i, November 3, 2022.
