(3) On December 30, 2025, the appellate clerk entered
a default notice informing Kahakuakoi 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 January 9,
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 Kahakuakoi could request relief from
default by motion;
(4) The appellate clerk mailed the notice of entering
case on calendar and the default notice to Kahakuakoi at her
address on record. The United States Postal Service returned
the default notice as not deliverable and unable to forward; and
(5) Kahakuakoi 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 18, 2026.
