S.H., Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
R.N., Defendant-Appellee.

APPEAL FROM THE FAMILY COURT OF THE SECOND CIRCUIT
(CASE NO. 2DV171000326)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL
(By: Hiraoka, Presiding Judge, Wadsworth and Guidry, JJ.)

Upon consideration of Defendant-Appellee R.N.'s
February 5, 2026 Motion to Dismiss Appeal for Lack of Appellate
Jurisdiction, Plaintiff-Appellant S.H.'s March 12, 2026
Stipulation to Dismiss Appeal Without Prejudice, the respective
papers in support and in opposition, and the record, it appears
that:
(1) S.H. appeals from the September 26, 2025 [Denied]
Order Regarding Emergency Ex Parte Motion for Custody and the
October 21, 2025 Order Denying Motion for Reconsider of Order
Denying Plaintiff's Emergency Ex Parte Motion for Custody Filed
October 6 2025, entered in the Family Court of the Second
Circuit;
(2) A post-decree order is appealable if it finally
determines all issues raised in the post-decree proceeding, Hall
v. Hall, 96 Hawai#i 105, 111 n.4, 26 P.3d 594, 600 n.4 (App.
2001) (citation omitted), vacated in part on other grounds, 95
Hawai#i 318, 22 P.3d 965 (2001); and
NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAI#I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER

(3) The orders from which S.H. appeals do not finally
determine the post-decree issue of custody. See, e.g., RL v. DL,
No. CAAP-XX-XXXXXXX, 2020 WL 5092801, at *2 (App. Aug. 28, 2020)
(Order) (dismissing appeal for lack of jurisdiction and
concluding that "[a]fter entry of a post-judgment order that
finally determines this last remaining [post-decree] issue, any
aggrieved party will have an opportunity to timely appeal").
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion to
Dismiss is granted. This appeal is dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Stipulation to Dismiss
is denied as moot.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, March 24, 2026.
