                      ORDER OF CORRECTION
              (By:   Hiraoka, J., for the court1)

   1
         Leonard, Presiding Judge, Hiraoka and Nakasone, JJ.
 FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAI#I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER

          The Opinion of the Court, filed on December 22, 2022,
is hereby corrected as follows:
          1.   On page 11, in footnote 11, the reference to
"Merrian-Webster" should be replaced with "Merriam-Webster" so
that as corrected, the sentence reads: "Spondylosis, Merriam-
Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/medical/spondylosis
(last visited Dec. 14, 2022)."

          2.   On page 12, in the last line of the first partial
paragraph should should be indented to appear as:

          occasional needle sensation in both hands and stiffness in
          the morning. [Pave] also reported bowel and bladder control
          problems and difficulty with sexual function.

          3.   On page 21, in line 4 in the block quote from
Bumanglag v. Oahu Sugar Co., 78 Hawai#i 275, 278, 892 P.2d 468,
471 (1995), the word "lumber" should be changed to "lumbar," to
read as follows:

          Even if we were to accept Dr. Hendrickson's opinion as to
          [Bumanglag]'s preexisting impairment for his low back
          condition, and apply it to the highest permanent impairment
          rating for the lumbar region (11% of the whole person), 20
          to 25% of 11% would provide, at most, 2.75% preexisting
          permanent partial disability of the whole person. Permanent
          partial disability of 2.75% of the whole person is equal to
          10.71 weeks of compensation . . . . It has not been shown
          that [Bumanglag] has a preexisting permanent partial
          disability of 32 weeks of compensation necessary to warrant
          apportionment with SCF.

          The clerk of the court is directed to take all
necessary steps to notify the publishing agencies of these
changes.
          DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, May 23, 2023.

                                        FOR THE COURT:

                                        /s/ Keith K. Hiraoka
                                        Associate Judge
