Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.)
In accordance with Hawai`i Rules of Appellate Procedure Rule 35, and after carefully reviewing the record and the briefs submitted by the parties, and duly considering and analyzing the law relevant to the arguments and issues raised by the parties, we conclude no error was committed by the district court of the second circuit (the court) (1) in confirming the award of costs to Defendants-Appellees The Balloon Man, Balloon Co. Ltd., Rob Rishmawy, Roger Simond, and Randall Littleton, and in denying the motion of Plaintiff-Appellant Philip Henry Cedillos, dba Maui Balloon Co., to disqualify the trial judge.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the court's December 11, 2000 order granting relief from attorney's fees but denying relief from costs awarded, and its December 11, 2000 order denying the motion to disqualify, from which the appeal is taken, are affirmed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, May 7, 2002.
On the briefs:
Philip Henry Cedillos,
plaintiff-appellant
pro se.
