APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(CIV. NO. 99-1210)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson,
Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.)

Upon review of the record, it appears that final judgment has not been entered in Civil No. 99-1210. The appeal of the January 25, 2001 order denying the motion for relief from the administrative judge is an appeal of an interlocutory order that was not certified for interlocutory appeal. Therefore, this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. See HRS § 641-1(a). Accordingly,

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

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, April 26, 2001.
