v.
FRANCIS GRANDINETTI, Defendant-Appellant.

APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE THIRD CIRCUIT
NORTH AND SOUTH HILO DIVISION
(CASE NO. 3DRC-XX-XXXXXXX)

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

Upon review of the record, it appears that:
(1) The opening brief was due on or before March 2,
2026;
(2) Self-represented Defendant-Appellant Francis
Grandinetti (Grandinetti) failed to file the opening brief or
request a further extension of time;
(3) On March 19, 2026, the appellate clerk entered a
default notice informing Grandinetti 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 30,

2026, for appropriate action, which could include dismissal of
the appeal, under Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP)
Rule 30, and Grandinetti could request relief from default by
motion;
(4) The appellate clerk mailed the notice of entering
case on calendar and the default notice to Grandinetti at his
address on record. The United States Postal Service did not
return the notice of entering case on calendar but returned the
default notice as not deliverable and unable to forward; and
(5) Grandinetti has not filed a notice of change of
address, consistent with HRAP Rule 25(f), or taken further
action in this appeal since the court granted his October 31,
2025 motion for, among other things, 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.
