REGINA SMITH, Petitioner-Appellant
 
 

vs.

STATE OF HAWAI`I, Respondent-Appellee

APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(S.P.P. NO. 98-0027)
 

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

Upon review of the record, it appears that the court issued an order requiring appellant Regina A. Smith to (1) serve a copy of the opening brief on counsel for appellee, and (2) respond to the order to show cause in a timely manner. The order also informed appellant that failure to file a response or to show good cause would result in sanctions, which may include the dismissal of the appeal. Appellant having failed to serve a copy of the opening brief on counsel for appellee and having failed to file a response to the order to show cause in a timely manner,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, April 24, 2002.
