NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAI`I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER
NO. 27960
IN
THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE STATE OF HAWAI`I
Plaintiff-Appellant Ronald Paul Pollock (Ronald) appeals from the March 17, 2006 Divorce Decree and the May 2, 2006 "Order Denying Plaintiff Ronald Paul Pollack's Rule 59(e) Non-Hearing Motion for Reconsideration, Clarification, and/or To Amend March 17, 2006, Divorce Decree, and Request for Evidentiary Hearing, Filed March 28, 2006" of the Family Court of the First Circuit (1) (family court).
On appeal, Ronald contends the family court committed reversible error
(1) by entering the Divorce Decree without his and his counsel's approval and signature as had been guaranteed to him at the settlement hearing;
(2) by refusing to grant him an evidentiary hearing as to disputed material settlement facts;
(3) by approving Defendant-Appellee Alpha Riveral Pollock's (Alpha) "buying off [Ronald's] reporting of her criminal and licensure wrongdoing as a quid pro quo for entering into the settlement"; and
(4) by "merely rubber-stamping verbatim [Alpha's] proposed 'adoptive' findings of fact and conclusions of law."
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 Ronald's points of error are without merit.
Therefore,
The March 17, 2006 Divorce Decree and the May 2, 2006 "Order Denying Plaintiff Ronald Paul Pollack's Rule 59(e) Non-Hearing Motion for Reconsideration, Clarification, and/or To Amend March 17, 2006, Divorce Decree, and Request for Evidentiary Hearing, Filed March 28, 2006" of the Family Court of the First Circuit are affirmed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, May 16, 2007.
On the briefs:1.
The Honorable Christine E. Kuriyama presided.
