ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.)
Upon review of the record, it appears that the
July 22, 2002 notice of appeal was prepared, signed and filed by Dr. David
Ben-Chayil KCR on behalf of appellant Oliver Vladimir Kozlik. Ben-Chayil
is not an attorney licensed to practice law in Hawai`i and he cannot represent
Kozlik before the supreme court. See
Hawai`i Revised Statutes §§ 605-2 and 605-14; Oahu
Plumbing and Sheet Metal, Ltd. v. Kona Construction, Inc., 60 Haw.
372, 376-377, 590 P.2d 570, 574 (1979) ("natural persons . . . are permitted
. . . to appear pro se[;] nevertheless, . . . such natural persons
are not permitted to act as 'attorneys' and represent other natural persons
in their causes."). Thus, the July 22, 2002 notice of appeal is
invalid. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, November 8, 2002.
