ORDER APPROVING IN PART ATTORNEY'S FEE REQUEST

(By: Moon, C.J. for the court ⁽¹⁾)

Upon consideration of the supplemental request for fees and expenses submitted by appellant's counsel, Shawn A. Luiz, pursuant to HRS § 802-5 (Supp. 2007), and the attachments thereto, and having carefully reviewed the record, it appears that expenses in the amount of $31.50 are necessary and reasonable, and that supplemental fees in the amount of $90.00, as opposed to the amount requested, are reasonable. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that expenses in the amount of $31.50 and attorney's fees in the amount of $90.00 are approved.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai‘i, November 6, 2008.
