CERTIORARI TO THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS
(CIV. NO. 03-1-2422-12)





ORDER DENYING APPELLANTS' MOTION FOR EXTENSION
OF TIME TO FILE REPLY TO APPELLEES' WRIT FOR CERTIORARI
(By: Levinson, J., for the court (1))

Upon consideration of the motion for extension of time to file reply to appellees' writ for certiorari filed by appellants, and the record herein, it appears that appellants are requesting a five day extension of time to file their reply to appellees' application for writ of certiorari from July 24, 2008 to July 29, 2008, but an extension is not authorized by statute. See Hawaii Revised Statutes § 602-59(c) (Supp. 2007) ("Opposition to an application for a writ of certiorari may be filed no later than fifteen days after the application is filed."). The time within which a response to an application for writ of certiorari must be filed is set by statute.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion is denied.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai‘i, July 16, 2008.
