Upon review of the record, it appears that:

extension, on or before September 19, 2025, and the opening
brief was due on a second extension on or before March 6, 2026;
(2) Self-represented Defendant-Appellant Megan Wong
(Wong) failed to file either document or request an extension of
time to file the statement of jurisdiction or a third extension
of time to file the opening brief;
(3) On March 12, 2026, the appellate clerk entered a
default notice informing Wong that the time for filing the
statement of jurisdiction and opening brief had expired, the

matter would be called to the court's attention on March 23,
2026, for appropriate action, which could include dismissal of
the appeal, under Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate Procedure
Rules 12.1(e) and 30, and Wong could request relief from default
by motion; and
(4) Wong has not taken any further action in this
appeal since the court granted her November 18, 2025 Motion for
a Second Extension of Time to File the Opening Brief.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is
dismissed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, June 25, 2026.
