NO. 27770





IN THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS

OF THE STATE OF HAWAI`I








MARIA TERESA ARCEBAL-RABANG and RONNIE LEON WATKINS, Petitioners-
Appellees, v.
CYNTHIA QUERUBIN, Respondent-Appellant





APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
(CIVIL NO. 1SS05-1-1445)







SUMMARY DISPOSITION ORDER
(By: Lim, Presiding Judge, Nakamura and Fujise, JJ.)

Cynthia Querubin appeals the January 18, 2006 order of the District Court of the First Circuit (district court) (1) that granted the October 28, 2005 amended petition for injunction against harassment filed by Maria Teresa Arcebal-Rabang and Ronnie Leon Watkins.

Given the prerogative of the finder of fact to determine the credibility of the witnesses and the weight of the evidence, State v. Taliferro, 77 Hawai`i 196, 201, 881 P.2d 1264, 1269 (App. 1994), and to make all reasonable and rational inferences under the facts in evidence, including circumstantial evidence, State v. Eastman, 81 Hawai`i 131, 135, 913 P.2d 57, 61 (1996), we conclude there was "substantial evidence to support the injunction, and it cannot be said the district court's decision was clearly erroneous." Bailey v. Sanchez, 92 Hawai`i 312, 316, 990 P.2d 1194, 1198 (App. 1999) (footnote omitted).

Therefore, after a meticulous review of the record and the briefs submitted by the parties, and giving careful consideration to the arguments advanced and the issues raised by the parties,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the January 18, 2006 order of the district court is affirmed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, February 5, 2007.

On the briefs:



Scot S. Brower,
for Respondent-Appellant.

Andre' S. Wooten,
for Petitioners-Appellees.
