NO. 27008


IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI`I


RALPH NADER, PETER MIGUEL CAMEJO and ROBERT H. STIVER,
Appellants-Appellants


vs.


DWAYNE D. YOSHINA, CHIEF ELECTIONS OFFICER, State of Hawai`i,
Appellee-Appellee



APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(CIV. NO. 04-1-1905)


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 November 23, 2004 order affirming the administrative decision in Civil No. 04-1-1905 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, March 11, 2005.
