APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
(CIVIL NO. 1CCV-XX-XXXXXXX)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
(By: Leonard, Acting Chief Judge, Hiraoka and McCullen, JJ.)
Upon review of the record, it appears that:
(1) On February 10, 2025, self-represented Plaintiff-
Appellant Guillermo Canlas (Canlas) filed a notice of appeal;
(2) The record on appeal was due on or before April 11,
2025, see Hawai i Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP)
Rule 11(b)(1), but was not filed because Canlas failed to pay the
filing fees or obtain a fee waiver;
(3) On April 24, 2025, the appellate clerk entered a
default of the record on appeal, informing Canlas that the time
to docket the appeal had expired, Canlas had not paid the filing
fees or obtained an order allowing Canlas to proceed on appeal in
forma pauperis, the matter would be brought to the court's
attention on May 5, 2025, for action that may include dismissal
of the appeal, and Canlas could seek relief from default by
motion; and

(4) Canlas 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, Hawai i, May 15, 2025.
