requested an extension of time to file the statement of

(3) On October 1, 2025, the appellate clerk entered a
Default of Statement of Jurisdiction and Opening Brief, stating
the time for filing the statement of jurisdiction expired on
July 25, 2025; the time for filing the opening brief expired on
September 24, 2025; the matter would be called to the court's
attention on October 13, 2025 for action that could include
dismissal pursuant to HRAP Rules 12.1(e) and 30; and that
Kahumoku could seek relief from default by motion.
(4) The appellate clerk mailed the default notice to
Kahumoku on October 1, 2025 at Kahumoku's address of record. The
United States Postal Service returned the notice as "not
deliverable as addressed."
(5) Kahumoku has not filed a notice of change of
address, consistent with HRAP Rule 25(f), has failed to file the
statement of jurisdiction and the opening brief, and has not
taken any further action in this appeal.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is
dismissed.
