Self-represented Defendant-Appellant Sheree Heke's (Heke)

NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAIʻI REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER

     (1)   On November 27, 2023, Association and Heke filed a

           Stipulation to Dismiss pursuant to Hawai‘i Rules of

           Appellate Procedure (HRAP) Rule 42(b);

               a.   The Stipulation to Dismiss states Association

                    and Heke stipulate that Heke's "appeal to the

                    Intermediate Court of Appeals of the State of

                    [Hawai‘i] from the Final Judgment filed in

                    Civil No. 17-1-1088-07 on November 5, 2020 is

                    hereby dismissed with prejudice";

               b.   The Stipulation to Dismiss also states "each

                    party will bear its own attorney's fees and

                    costs"; and

               c.   The Stipulation to Dismiss is dated and

                    signed by Heke and counsel for all parties

                    appearing in the appeal;

     (2)   This appeal was docketed on February 2, 2021.

     (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

                                  2
NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAIʻI REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER

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

approval by the appellate court").

          Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the Stipulation to

Dismiss is approved and the appeal is dismissed with

prejudice.   The parties shall bear their own attorney's fees and

costs on appeal.

          DATED:   Honolulu, Hawai‘i, December 20, 2023.
