APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(CIV. NOS. 00-1-3187, 00-1-3125, & 00-1-3678)


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

Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) the circuit court's February 28, 2001 order dismissing Civil No. 00-1-3187 as to defendants Christine Reeves and Sirkka Aho, the Honorable Sabrina S. McKenna, presiding, has not been reduced to a separate judgment certified under HRCP 54(b), as required by HRCP 58; see Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawai`i 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994) (An order that disposes of claims is not appealable unless the order is reduced to a separate judgment. The judgment must be certified under HRCP 54(b) if it disposes of less than all the claims.); and thus, (2) this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. Therefore,

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

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, July 12, 2001.
