(NO. 27070; FC-S NO. 03-09403)
APPEALS FROM THE FAMILY COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
(FC-S NOS. 02-08610 & 03-09403)
ORDER DISMISSING APPEALS
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)
Upon review of the record, it appears that the family court's orders denying appellants' motions for extensions of time to file motions for reconsideration pursuant to HRS § 571-54 are post-decree orders appealable as final orders pursuant to HRS §§ 641-1(a) and 571-54. However, the twenty-day period for filing the HRS § 571-54 motion for reconsideration cannot be disregarded by the appellate court in the exercise of judicial discretion. See In re Jane Doe, 105 Hawai`i 505, 508,100 P.3d 75, 78 (2004). Thus, the relief sought on appeal cannot be granted by the appellate court. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that No. 27069 and No. 27070 are dismissed.
DATED:
Honolulu, Hawai`i, July 8, 2005.
