WILLIAM JAMES LEE, DDS, Defendant-Appellee





APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
(CIV. NO. 04-1-0708)




ORDER
(By: Duffy, J.)

Upon consideration of Defendant-Appellee William James Lee's motion to dismiss the appeal of Plaintiff-Appellant Nanette Schnars because Appellant failed to file an opening brief, the papers in support and opposition, and the records and files herein, it appears this court granted Appellant an extension of time to file the opening brief, and Appellant filed the opening brief on December 20, 2005. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion to dismiss the appeal is denied.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, December 21, 2005.
