were due on or before January 12, 2026, and February 11, 2026,
respectively;
(2) Self-represented Petitioner-Appellant
Stephen Richard Kenny (Kenny) failed to file either document or
request an extension of time;

a default notice informing Kenny that the time for filing the

matter would be called to the court's attention on March 5,
2026, for appropriate action, which could include dismissal of
the appeal, under Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP)
Rules 12.1(e) and 30, and Kenny could request relief from
default by motion;
(4) The appellate clerk mailed the notice of entering
case on calendar and the default notice to Kenny 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) Kenny has not filed a notice of change of address,
consistent with HRAP Rule 25(f), or taken any further action in
this appeal since filing the notice of appeal.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is
dismissed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, June 26, 2026.
