APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT

(CIV. NO. 95-0718)



ORDER DISMISSING APPEALS AND CROSS-APPEAL

(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, and Ramil, JJ.,

and Circuit Judge Ibarra in place of Acoba, J., recused)



Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) the judgment entered on June 5, 2000 is a judgment for damages, attorney's fees and costs in Civil No. 95-0718; (2) the judgment does not identify the claims for which the judgment is entered and does not, on its face, show finality as to all claims against all the parties; see Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawaii 115, 119, 869 P.2d 1334, 1338-39 (1994) (In a multiple claim or multiple party circuit court case, a judgment that purports to be the final judgment must identify the claims for which the judgment is entered and must, on its face, show finality as to all claims against all the parties.); and thus, (3) this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeals by appellant Doe Governmental Entity in Nos. 23618 and 23803, by appellant John Doe 2 in No. 23791, and by cross-appellant Jane Doe in No. 23618 are dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, November 21, 2000.
