                      OF THE STATE OF HAWAI I

              BANK OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v.
               DAVID K. BRAXTON, Defendant-Appellant

      APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE SECOND CIRCUIT
                        WAILUKU DIVISION
                   (CASE NO. 2DRC-XX-XXXXXXX)

                      ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
       (By:   Ginoza, Chief Judge, Nakasone and Chan, JJ.)
          Upon review of the record, it appears that:
          (1) On November 16, 2022, self-represented Defendant-
Appellant David K. Braxton (Braxton) filed a Notice of Appeal and
a request for the district court to waive the filing fee;
          (2) On November 18, 2022, the district court denied the
request for a fee waiver;
          (3) The record on appeal was due on or before
January 17, 2023, but was not filed because Braxton failed to pay
the filing fee or obtain a fee waiver.     Hawai i Rules of
Appellate Procedure (HRAP) Rules 3(a), 11(b)(2), 24;
          (4) On January 18, 2023, the appellate clerk entered a
default of the record on appeal, informing Braxton that the time
to docket the appeal had expired, Braxton had not paid the filing
fee or obtained an order allowing Braxton to proceed on appeal in
forma pauperis, the matter would be brought to the court's
attention on January 30, 2023, for action that may include
dismissal of the appeal, and Braxton could seek relief from
default by motion;

             (5) Braxton took no further action in this appeal; and
             (6) An appeal may be dismissed where the record on
appeal has not been prepared because the appellant failed to pay
the required fees or obtain an order allowing the appellant to
proceed in forma pauperis.      HRAP Rule 11(b)(2), (c)(2).
             Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is
dismissed.
