IN THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS
STATE OF HAWAI`I, Plaintiff-Appellee, v.
RUSSELL K. SOON, SR., Defendant-Appellant
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT,
HONOLULU DIVISION
(HPD CR. NO. SD0100470)
SUMMARY
DISPOSITION ORDER
(By: Burns, C.J., Lim and Foley, JJ.)
Upon careful review of the record and the briefs submitted by the parties and having given due consideration to the arguments advanced and the issue as raised by the parties, we conclude that, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, there was credible evidence of sufficient quality and probative value to enable a person of reasonable caution to conclude that the evidence supported Soon's conviction. State v. Batson, 73 Haw. 236, 248-49, 831 P.2d 924, 931 (1992). Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the October 13, 2003 Judgment of the District Court of the First Circuit is affirmed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, February 13, 2004.
On the briefs:
Jon N. Ikenaga,Donn Fudo,
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney,
City and County of Honolulu,
for plaintiff-appellee.
