(By: Nakasone, Chief Judge, Wadsworth and Gluck, JJ.)

Upon review of the record, it appears that:
(1) On April 3, 2025, self-represented
Claimant/Appellant-Appellant Aimee Stiner (Stiner) filed the
notice of appeal in this case;
(2) On March 15, 2025, the State of Hawaiʻi Labor and
Industrial Relations Appeals Board (LIRAB) notified Stiner that
the appellate filing fees had not been paid, and cautioned

Stiner that failure to pay the fees or request a waiver would
result in the record on appeal not being filed;
(3) The record on appeal was due on or before June 2,
2025. See Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP)
Rule 11(b)(1);
(4) On April 15, 2025, the LIRAB filed a letter
stating the record on appeal has not been filed because
appellate filing fees remained outstanding;
(5) On June 6, 2025, the appellate clerk entered a
default of the record on appeal, informing Stiner that the time
to docket the appeal had expired, Stiner had not paid the filing
fees or obtained an order allowing Stiner to proceed on appeal
in forma pauperis, the matter would be brought to the court's
attention on June 13, 2025, for action that may include
dismissal of the appeal, and Stiner could seek relief from
default by motion; and
(6) Stiner has not taken any further action in this
appeal. An appeal may be dismissed where the record on appeal
has not been prepared because the appellant failed to pay the
required fees or obtain an order allowing the appellant to
proceed in forma pauperis. HRAP Rule 11(b)(2), (c)(2).
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is
dismissed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, June 17, 2026.
