Upon review of the record, it appears that this court informed Appellants by letter dated May 3, 2002 that the time for filing the opening brief expired on April 20, 2002 and that, pursuant to Rule 30 of the Hawaii 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.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.
