Appellant Randolph Baham (Baham) failed to file the opening
brief;
           (3) On January 5, 2024, the appellate clerk entered a
default notice informing Baham that the time for filing the
opening brief had expired, the matter would be called to the
court's attention on January 16, 2024, for appropriate action,
which could include dismissal of the appeal, under Hawai i Rules

of Appellate Procedure Rule 30, and Baham could request relief
from default by motion; and
             (4) Since the default notice, Baham has not taken any
further action in this appeal.
             Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is
dismissed.
