Upon review of the record, it appears that this court informed Appellant by letter dated February 13, 2004 that the time for filing the opening brief expired on February 6, 2004 and that, pursuant to Rule 30 of the Hawai`i 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. Appellant having failed to respond to said letter or to otherwise oppose dismissal,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.
