ERIC K. COCKETT, Petitioner-Appellant

vs.

STATE OF HAWAII, Respondent-Appellee

______________________________________________________________________________

APPEAL FROM THE SECOND CIRCUIT COURT

(S.P.P. NO. 99-0006(3))

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama,

Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.)

Upon review of the record, it appears that the supreme court clerk's office informed Appellant Eric K. Cockett by letter dated June 9, 2000 that the statement of jurisdiction was in default and by letter dated June 30, 2000 that the opening brief was in default and that pursuant to Rule 30 of the Hawaii Rules of Appellate Procedure the matter would be called to the attention of the court for such action as the court deemed proper, including dismissal of the appeal. The letter of June 30, 2000 has been returned as undeliverable, and it appears that Appellant has abandoned his appeal. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, August 25, 2000.
