APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SECOND CIRCUIT (CASE NO. 2CCV-XX-XXXXXXX)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL FOR LACK OF APPELLATE JURISDICTION (By: Hiraoka, Presiding Judge, McCullen and Guidry, JJ.)

Upon review of the record, we find that Petitioner

Lauren Lipcon's October 20, 2025 Petition for Writ of Prohibition

does not notice an appeal from an appealable decree, order, or

judgment entered by the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit in

2CCV-XX-XXXXXXX.1 Rather, it appears to seek affirmative relief

in the nature of a writ of mandamus, which the Hawai#i Supreme

1 Petitioner's counsel, Paul Howard Peters, is cautioned to include on the flyleaf attorney-identifying information, as well as a 3-inch top margin or a 3-inch-by-3-inch space in the top right corner, consistent with Hawai #i Rules of Appellate Procedure Rule 32(a). NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAI#I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER

Court has exclusive, original jurisdiction to grant. Hawai#i

Revised Statutes § 602-5(a)(3) (2016).

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that case No. CAOT-25-

0000726 is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction without prejudice

to seeking relief from the Hawai#i Supreme Court.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, October 23, 2025.
