APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIFTH CIRCUIT (CIVIL NO. 5CCV-XX-XXXXXXX)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION (By: Leonard, Acting Chief Judge, Nakasone and McCullen, JJ.) Upon review of the record, it appears that self-

represented Defendants/Counterclaimants-Appellants Cameron E.

Nice and Martha J. Jacobsen, AKA Martha J. Jacobsen-Nice (Nice

Parties) appeal from the Circuit Court of the Fifth Circuit's

November 1, 2022 "Order Approving Plaintiffs' Motion for Summary

Judgment Filed July 29, 2022" and February 7, 2023 "Order

Granting Plaintiffs' Motion to Enforce Order Granting Plaintiffs'

Motion for Summary Judgment Filed Herein on December 13, 2022."

We conclude that the court lacks jurisdiction because the circuit

court has not yet entered a final, appealable judgment. See

Hawaii Revised Statutes § 641-1(a) (2016); Hawai i Rules of Civil NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAI I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER

Wright, 76 Hawai i 115, 119, 869 P.2d 1334, 1338 (1994).

dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all pending motions are

dismissed.
