vs.

CATHERINE BEATRICE LOPEZ, Respondent-Appellant


APPEAL FROM THE FAMILY COURT OF THE THIRD CIRCUIT
(FC-UCCJ NO. 00-1-0003)


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

Upon review of the record, it appears that (1) the supreme court clerk's office informed Appellant Catherine Beatrice Lopez, pro se, by letter dated August 16, 2001, that the record on appeal cannot be filed without payment of the filing fee pursuant to Rule 3(f) of the Hawai`i Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP) or an executed motion to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to HRAP 24 and that the matter would be called to the attention of the court for such action as the court deemed proper pursuant to Rule 11(a), including dismissal of the appeal; and (2) appellant failed to pay the filing fee or submit a motion to proceed in forma pauperis; therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, November 14, 2001.
