APPEALS FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT

(CIV. NOS. 05-1-1388 and 05-1-1391)

ORDER DISMISSING "NOTICE OF APPEAL TO THE SUPREME COURT"
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)

Upon review of the "notice of appeal to the supreme court" filed on March 9, 2007 by United Public Workers, AFSCME, Local 646, AFL-CIO (UPW), it appears that UPW purports to appeal to the supreme court from a March 7, 2007 order of the Intermediate Court of Appeals granting a stay pending appeal pursuant to HRAP 8. UPW purports to appeal pursuant to HRS §§ 380-10 (1993) and 602-5 (1993), but those statutes, as amended in 2004, do not authorize an appeal to the supreme court of the March 7, 2007 order of the Intermediate Court of Appeals. See HRS §§ 380-10 (Supp. 2006) and 602-5 (Supp. 2006). Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that UPW's March 9, 2007 "notice of appeal to the supreme court" is dismissed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai`i, March 29, 2007.
