NO. 27330



IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI`I





IN THE INTEREST OF A. G.




APPEAL FROM THE FAMILY COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
(FC-S. NO. 03-08731)



ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
(By: Duffy, J. for the court (1)
)

Upon consideration of appellee's motion to dismiss appeal, the papers in support and the record, it appears that the order appealed does not infringe upon appellants' parental custody rights and therefore does not have the requisite degree of finality for appeal required by HRS §§ 641-1(a) and 571-54. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, September 27, 2005.
