          Upon consideration of Plaintiff-Appellant/Cross-

Appellee Yoshiko Kobayashi's and Defendant/Cross-Claim

Plaintiff/Cross-Claim Defendant-Appellee/Cross-Appellant State

of Hawaii's (State) January 11, 2023 "Stipulation to Dismiss

Appeal" (Stipulation to Dismiss), the papers in support, and the

record and files herein, it appears that:

          (1)   On January 11, 2023, Kobayashi's counsel

                (Counsel) and the State filed the Stipulation to

                Dismiss pursuant to Hawai‘i Rules of Appellate

                Procedure (HRAP) Rule 42(b);

                     a.   The Stipulation to Dismiss states

                          Kobayashi and the State "are the only

                          remaining parties to the appeal and

                          cross-appeal";

                     b.   "The parties stipulate that each party

                          will bear their own fees and costs"; and

                     c.   The Stipulation to Dismiss is dated and

                          signed by Counsel and the State's

                          counsel.

          (2)   This appeal was docketed on September 27, 2018.

          (3)   No payment is due.

          The Stipulation to Dismiss complies with HRAP

Rule 42(b) (providing in part that if "parties to a docketed

appeal or other proceeding sign and file a stipulation for

dismissal, specifying the terms as to payment of costs and" pay

the fees that are due, "the case shall be dismissed upon

approval by the appellate court").

          Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Stipulation

to Dismiss is granted.

          DATED:   Honolulu, Hawai‘i, January 26, 2023.
