NO. 24389

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAII


CHALON INTERNATIONAL OF HAWAII, INC.,
a Hawaii corporation, Plaintiff-Appellee

vs.

JULY SIMEONA, Defendant-Appellant

and

PARADISE PRAWNS, INC. (Lessee), et al., Defendants



APPEAL FROM THE THIRD CIRCUIT COURT
(CIV. NO. 00-1-0413)


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

Upon review of the record, it appears that the circuit court's July 10, 2001 judgment, the Honorable Greg K. Nakamura, presiding, is a judgment on some, but not all claims of all defendants in Civil No. 00-1-0413. The judgment is not certified as a final judgment under HRCP 54(b) and the appeal of the judgment is premature. See HRS § 641-1(a); HRCP 54(b).

Therefore,

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

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, September 24, 2001.
