APPEAL FROM THE COURT
(CIV. NO. 01-1-3182)
 

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 January 25, 2002 order granting the motion to dismiss Civil No. 01-1-3182 has not been reduced to a separate judgment, as required by HRCP 58. See Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawai`i 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994). Thus, this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. Therefore,

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

Dated: Honolulu, Hawai`i, May 31, 2002.
