NO. 26871

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI‘I


In the Matter Between:

HAWAII FIRE FIGHTERS ASSOCIATION, IAFF, LOCAL 1643, AFL-CIO,
Union-Appellant

vs.

FIRE DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU,
Employer-Appellee


APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(S.P. NO. 04-1-0296)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)


Upon review of the record, it appears that the order entered on September 10, 2004 is an order denying a motion to vacate an arbitration award and the judgment entered on September 27, 2004 is a judgment on the September 10, 2004 order. The appeal of the September 10, 2004 order and the September 27, 2004 judgment is not authorized by HRS §§ 658-12 and 658-15 (1993) or by HRS § 658A-23(a) (Supp. 2004). Therefore,

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

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai‘i, January 28, 2005.
