NO. 24423

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI`I

STATE OF HAWAII, Plaintiff-Appellee

vs.

FRANK C. JANTO, Defendant-Appellant

APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(CR. NO. 97-1458)

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

Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) Appellant appeals the circuit court's June 14, 2001 order denying appointment of counsel to assist in filing a petition for post-conviction relief; (2) the appeal of the June 14, 2001 order is an appeal of a post-judgment order that is not authorized by HRS § 641-11; and thus, (3) we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. Therefore,

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

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, October 8, 2001.
