APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
(CASE NO. 5CCV-XX-XXXXXXX)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
(By: Leonard, Acting Chief Judge, Hiraoka and McCullen, JJ.)

Upon review of the record, it appears that:
(1) On April 1, 2025, the court entered an Order for
Temporary Remand instructing the Circuit Court to enter a final,
appealable judgment under Hawai#i Rules of Civil Procedure (HRCP)
Rule 58, or provide an explanation as to why it is not possible
or appropriate to do so; and
(2) On April 24, 2025, the Circuit Court entered a
Notice of Pending Motions responding to the Order for Temporary
Remand, stating there were pending motions before it which must
be resolved or ruled upon before the case is ripe for appellate
review.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is
dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Jenkins v. Cades Schutte
Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawai'i 115, 119-20, 869 P.2d 1334, 1338-39
(1994).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all pending motions are
dismissed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, May 15, 2025.
