NO. CAAP-XX-XXXXXXX

IN THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS

OF THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI

DAVID KIMO FRANKEL, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. BOARD OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES, DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES AND RESORTTRUST HAWAII LLC, Defendants-Appellees.

APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT (CASE NO. 1CC181001959)

ORDER OF CORRECTION (By: McCullen, J.)

IT IS ORDERED that the Opinion entered on January 29,

2025 (docket no. 153) in the above case is corrected as follows:

On page 5, second full paragraph, line 4, change the

comma (,) to a semicolon (;) so that the beginning of line 4 is

corrected to read, "facilities; and (5) roof overhang." FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAIʻI REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER

On page 13, subsection (b), Resorttrust is misspelled.

Subsection (b) should be corrected to read, "Board's and

Resorttrust's Motions for Summary Judgment".

On page 18, first full paragraph, line 1, partial is

misspelled. The sentence should be corrected to read, "The

circuit court denied Frankel's motion for partial summary

judgment reasoning that the public trust doctrine did not apply

to Lot 41 and even if it did, whether an agency violated the

public trust doctrine was fact-based:".

On page 22, first full paragraph, last line, a single

quotation mark needs to be inserted so as corrected, the last

line reads, "public.'" Id. at 177, 449 P.3d at 1175."

On page 44, first full block quotation, the single

quotation marks need to be replaced with quotation marks and

quotation marks need to be inserted before "would" and at the

end of the sentence, so as corrected, the block quote should

read,

If the agency knew that it could always "supplement" or "create" the administrative record in the reviewing court, then the agency "would have little incentive to prepare an adequate and reviewable administrative record, despite the clear mandate of [the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)] and HEPA that the agency prepare the required record before deciding upon a particular course of conduct."

On page 45, lines 18 and 23, the pin cite for 449 P.3d

should be 1177 not 1777, the corrected case cites should read,

"See Ching, 145 Hawaiʻi at 152, 179, 180, 449 P.3d at 1150, 1177,

2 FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAIʻI REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER

1178." and "See id., at 152, 179, 180, 449 P.3d at 1150, 1177,

1178;".

On page 47, first full paragraph, line 2, the hyphen

should be removed from "decision-making" so as corrected, the

sentence should read, "Finally, an agency does not get a do-over

of its decisionmaking process on appellate review or in a

declaratory action."

On page 55, first line, volume number 167 should be

replaced with volume number 9 so as corrected, the case cite

should read, "Waiāhole I, 94 Hawaiʻi at 142, 158, 9 P.3d at 454,

470;".

The Clerk of the Court is directed to take all

necessary steps to notify the publishing agencies of this

change.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, March 5, 2025.
