NO. 25552


IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI`I


FIRST HAWAIIAN BANK, Successor by Merger to
First Interstate Bank of Hawaii, fka American Security Bank,
a Hawaii corporation, Plaintiff-Appellee

vs.

CAROL SING and GARY SING, aka Phillip G.K. Sing,
Defendants-Appellants

APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
(CIV. NO. 1RC96-3799)
 

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson and Nakayama, JJ.,
Circuit Judge Perkins, in place of Acoba, J., unavailable,
and Circuit Judge Pollack, assigned by reason of vacancy)

Upon review of the record, it appears that the district court's December 20, 2002 oral decision denying appellants' motions for post-judgment relief, the Honorable Christopher P. McKenzie, presiding, is appealable upon entry of an order denying the motions. An order denying the motions has not been entered. Thus, this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. See HRS § 641-1(a); HRAP 4(a)(1) and 4(a)(5).  Therefore,

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

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, April 23, 2003.
