APPEAL FROM THE SECOND CIRCUIT COURT
(CIV. NO. 99-0219)


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

Upon review of the record, it appears this court informed appellant by letter dated February 22, 2002, that the time for filing the opening brief expired on February 11, 2002, and that pursuant to Rule 30 of the Hawai`i Rules of Appellate Procedure, the matter would be called to the attention of the court for such action as the court deemed proper including dismissal of the appeal. On January 22, 2002 and March 6, 2002, counsel for appellant indicated that a settlement had been reached and the settlement documents were prepared and being circulated. However, having received no appropriate dismissal of the appeal,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, May 2, 2002.
