APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(CIV. NO. 04-1-0765)

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


Upon review of the record, it appears that the circuit court's September 21, 2004 order affirming the decision of the Hawaii Labor Relations Board has not been reduced to a separate judgment as required by HRCP 58 and 72(k). Thus, this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. See Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawai‘i 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994). Therefore,
 

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

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