(By: Leonard, Acting Chief Judge, Hiraoka and Guidry, JJ.)
Upon review of the record, it appears that:

Mother-Appellant's and Stepfather-Appellant's separate motions
for relief from default and first extensions of time for the
statements of jurisdiction and opening briefs to June 24, 2024.
The court cautioned Mother and Stepfather that any further
default of the statement of jurisdiction and opening brief may
result in sanctions authorized by Hawai i Rules of Appellate
Procedure (HRAP) Rules 12.1(e) and 30, including, without
limitation, monetary sanctions, the appeal being dismissed, or
both;
(2) Mother and Stepfather failed to file either
document, or request another extension of time;
(3) On June 26, 2024, the appellate clerk entered a
default notice informing Mother and Stepfather that the time for
filing the statements of jurisdiction and opening briefs had
expired, the matter would be called to the court's attention on
July 8, 2024, for appropriate action, which could include
dismissal of the appeal, under HRAP Rules 12.1(e) and 30, and
