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. /s/ Karen T. Nakasone Chief Judge
