APPEAL FROM THE LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS APPEALS BOARD
(CASE NO. AB 2005-060)

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

Upon review of the record, it appears that the orders entered by the Labor and Industrial Relations Appeals Board on August 29, 2005, October 18, 2005 and November 4, 2005 did not finally end the proceeding before the LIRAB in Case No. AB 2005-060. The orders are not final orders or preliminary rulings appealable pursuant to HRS §§ 91-14(a) and 386-88. Thus, this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. Therefore,

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

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai‘i, March 9, 2006.

1. Considered by: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.
