JORDANA TOLER, Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
COUNTY OF HAWAIʻI PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE,
and COUNTY OF HAWAIʻI, Defendants-Appellees.

APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE THIRD CIRCUIT
(CASE NO. 3CCV-XX-XXXXXXX)

SUMMARY DISPOSITION ORDER
(By: Nakasone, Chief Judge, Hiraoka and McCullen, JJ.)

Self-represented Plaintiff-Appellant Jordana Toler

(Toler) appeals from the Circuit Court of the Third Circuit's

October 2, 2025 judgment in favor of Defendants-Appellees the

County of Hawai‘i Prosecutor's Office and County of Hawai‘i

(collectively, County Defendants) and against Toler. 1

1 The Honorable Henry T. Nakamoto presided.

Toler filed a notice of appeal following the entry of the December 15,
2023 order granting County Defendants' motion to dismiss. In aid of its
jurisdiction, this court remanded the case for entry of a separate judgment,
which was entered on October 2, 2025.

In June 2023, Toler filed a Civil Information Sheet

alleging "Assault & Battery" and demanding "bodily harm

damages." Toler also filed a complaint claiming the County

Defendants owed her $2,400.00 for a "1997 assault thru wifi

causing bodily injury" and a "1999 assault w/motor vehicle."

The County Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint,

as Toler "failed to properly plead facts upon which relief may

be granted and has failed to state a cause of action for

relief."

Toler then filed an "Acknowledgment (Letter)

Complaint." Toler explained she was "intentionally struck from

a motor vehicle owned by party involved" and included an

incomprehensible diagram. The remainder of the document

describes events from October 2015 to June 2021 and is difficult

to discern.

The County Defendants again moved to dismiss. The

circuit court granted the motion to dismiss and entered judgment

in favor of the County Defendants and against Toler. Toler

appealed.

Upon careful review of the record and the briefs

submitted by the parties, we affirm.

Toler's opening brief discusses wanting "to reserve of

baracade [sic] of 50 homes," "information is copied by

purpatrairtors [sic]," and other indiscernible statements.

While we endeavor to liberally construe a self-

represented litigant's pleadings "to facilitate access to

justice," Toler does not present a discernible legal argument

for this court to review on appeal. See Erum v. Llego, 147

Hawai‘i 368, 380-81, 465 P.3d 815, 827-28 (2020).

Based on the foregoing, we affirm the circuit court's

October 2, 2025 judgment.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, November 7, 2025.
