Concurring Opinion by
Circuit Judge MASUOKA,
with whom NAKAYAMA, J., Joins.
I concur with the result, but for a different reason. I agree that an appeal may be taken only from a written disposition of a motion for reconsideration. However, even before the required motion for reconsideration can be heard by the family court, there must be a written decree adjudicating the minor as a law violator. Because there was only an oral adjudication, the appellant is not a law violator and for this reason, the family court did not have jurisdiction to entertain a motion for reconsideration and this Court does not have jurisdiction over the appeal.
