Dili v. Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of the State of Hawai'i (Order Dismissing Appeal)

NO. 23315

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAII

ARNOLD D. DILI, Appellant-Appellant

vs.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT

SYSTEM OF THE STATE OF HAWAII, Appellee-Appellee

APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT

(CIV. NO. 99-3570)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

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

Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.)

Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) judgment has not been entered on the circuit court's March 6, 2000 order, as required by Rules 58 and 72(k) of the Hawaii Rules of Civil Procedure; and, thus, (2) this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. See Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawaii 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994). Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, July 12, 2000.
