Upon review of the record, it appears that this court informed Appellant Nancy D. Makanui by letter dated January 22, 2001, that the time for filing the opening brief expired on January 8, 2001 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; and Appellant having failed to respond to said letter or to otherwise oppose dismissal; therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, February 6, 2001.
