OF THE STATE OF HAWAI`I

DWIGHT J. VICENTE, Claimant-Appellant, v.
LIFE CARE CENTER OF HILO, Employer-Appellee, and
JOHN MULLEN AND COMPANY, Insurance Carrier-Appellee

APPEAL FROM THE LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL
RELATIONS APPEALS BOARD
(CASE NO. AB 2001-451(H) (1-87-00882))

SUMMARY DISPOSITION ORDER
(By: Burns, C.J., Foley and Nakamura, JJ.)

Claimant-Appellant Dwight J. Vicente (Vicente) appeals the Decision and Order of the Labor and Industrial Relations Appeals Board (LIRAB) filed on January 27, 2003.

On appeal, Vicente contends Employer-Appellee Life Care Center of Hilo's (Life Care) "liability is greater than what was provided for in H.R.S. [Hawaii Revised Statutes] 386."

Upon careful review of the record and the briefs submitted by the parties and having given due consideration to the arguments advanced and the issues raised by the parties, we conclude that Vicente's point is without merit.

Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Decision and Order of the Labor and Industrial Relations Appeals Board, filed January 27, 2003, is affirmed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, May 27, 2004.

On the briefs:

Dwight J. Vicente,
claimant-appellant pro se.

Sidney J.Y. Wong,
Florencio C. Baguio, Jr.,
Blake K. Oshiro
(Wong & Oshima),
for employer-appellee and
insurance carrier-appellee
