APPEAL FROM THE SECOND CIRCUIT COURT
(CIV. NO. 05-1-0095)



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

Upon review of the record, it appears that judgment has not been entered on the circuit court's December 1, 2005 order. Thus, this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. See HRCP 72(k) and 58; 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, May 9, 2006.
