IN THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS

OF THE STATE OF HAWAI I

STATE OF HAWAI I, Plaintiff-Appellee, vs.
KITTY ANN CHRYST, Defendant-Appellant.

APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE THIRD CIRCUIT
KONA DIVISION
(CASE NOS. 3DTC-18-007296; 3DTC-19-053401; 3DTC-19-053561)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
(By: Leonard, Acting Chief Judge, Hiraoka, Wadsworth, JJ.)
Upon review of the record, it appears Defendant-
Appellant Kitty Ann Chryst appeals from the District Court of the
Third Circuit's respective "Order[s] re: Defendant's Ex Parte
Motion for the Removal of Driver's License and/or Motor Vehicle
Registration Stopper and Issuance of a Clearance Letter," entered
May 20, 2024, in 3DTC-19-053561, 3DTC-18-007296, and
3DTC-19-053401 (collectively, May 20, 2024 Orders).
We conclude the court lacks appellate jurisdiction, as
Chryst's June 20, 2024 Notice of Appeal was not timely-filed
within thirty days after entry of the May 20, 2024 Orders, as
required by Hawai i Rules of Appellate Procedure Rule 4(b)(1). 1
"[C]ompliance with the requirement of timely filing of a notice
of appeal is jurisdictional, and we must dismiss an appeal on our
motion if we lack jurisdiction." State v. Uchima, 147 Hawai i
64, 77, 464 P.3d 852, 865 (2020).
