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. /s/ Karen T. Nakasone Chief Judge
