APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SECOND CIRCUIT
(CASE NO. 2CSP-XX-XXXXXXX)

SUMMARY DISPOSITION ORDER
(By: Hiraoka, Presiding Judge, McCullen and Guidry, JJ.)

Self-represented Respondent-Appellant Olga Bordenyuk

(Bordenyuk) appeals from the (1) "Findings of Fact, Conclusions

August 31, 2022, by the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit

(circuit court)1.

Upon careful review of the record, and Bordenyuk's

brief,2 we affirm the circuit court's Order and Judgment.

Bordenyuk's brief states,

The Maui court did not provide an interpreter
certified for translations in court. The translator who
was provided translated two words out of what was said in
five to six sentences. As a fact, by negligence or
intentionality, the court made a mistake and violated the
law. The fact that the second court documents were
presented to me for the first time during this meeting did
not give me time to familiarize myself. The certificate of
service law was also violated. the [sic] court
deliberately acted in violation of rights. man [sic]
against Olga Bordenyuk. I ask the High Court to make an
investigation and inform the perpetrators about the non-
performing actions. In this regard, the decision of the
court cannot be lawful as it is unfair and illegal.3

Bordenyuk provides no discernible argument, references

to the record on appeal, or citations to legal authority in

support of her various contentions. We decline to address the

merits of any issues that Bordenyuk did not argue on appeal.

See Kakinami v. Kakinami, 127 Hawaiʻi 126, 144 n.16, 276 P.3d

695, 713 n.16 (2012) ("[T]his court may disregard a particular

2 Bordenyuk filed a "Letter to the Court. Memorandum from Olga
Bordenyuk BRIEF" that is non-compliant with Hawai‘i Rules of Appellate
Procedure Rule 28, and does not include points of error, record references,
or citations to legal authority. Petitioner-Appellee Joseph Ramsey did not
file an answering brief.

3 We note that there is no transcript in the record of the hearing
that Bordenyuk references. See Bettencourt v. Bettencourt, 80 Hawaiʻi 225,
230, 909 P.2d 553, 558 (1995) ("The burden is upon appellant in an appeal to
show error by reference to matters in the record, and he or she has the
responsibility of providing an adequate transcript." (cleaned up)).

support of that position." (cleaned up)).

We therefore affirm the circuit court's Order and

Judgment.
