(By: Wadsworth, Presiding Judge, Guidry and Gluck, JJ.)

Upon review of the record, it appears that:
(1) On January 9, 2026, self-represented Defendant-
Appellant William Luke Pye (Husband) filed the notice of appeal
in this case;
(2) On January 16, 2026, the family court clerk
notified Husband that the filing fees had not been paid, and
cautioned Husband that failure to pay the fees or request a
waiver may result in the appeal being dismissed or the notice of
appeal being stricken;

(3) The record on appeal was due on or before
March 10, 2026. See Hawai‘i Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP)
Rule 11(b)(1);
(4) On March 18, 2026, the circuit court clerk filed a
declaration stating the record on appeal has not been filed
because appellate filing fees remained outstanding;
(5) On March 19, 2026, the appellate clerk entered a
default of the record on appeal, informing Husband that the time
to docket the appeal had expired, Husband had not paid the
filing fees or obtained an order allowing Husband to proceed on
appeal in forma pauperis, the matter would be brought to the
court's attention on March 30, 2026, for action that may include
dismissal of the appeal, and Husband could seek relief from
default by motion; and
(6) Husband 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 2, 2026.
