Electronically Filed Intermediate Court of Appeals CAAP-XX-XXXXXXX 05-JUL-2024 08:49 AM Dkt. 32 ODSLJ NO. CAAP-XX-XXXXXXX

IN THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS

OF THE STATE OF HAWAI I

M.G., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. M.A., Defendant-Appellee

APPEAL FROM THE FAMILY COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT (CASE NO. 1DV221000013)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION (By: Leonard, Acting Chief Judge, Hiraoka and Guidry, JJ.) Upon review of the record, we conclude that the court lacks jurisdiction over Plaintiff-Appellant M.G.'s appeal because the Family Court of the First Circuit has not entered a final, appealable decree, order, or judgment. See Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 571-54 (2018); Eaton v. Eaton, 7 Haw. App. 111, 118-19, 748 P.2d 801, 805 (1987). Moreover, none of the orders identified in the April 26, 2024 Amended Notice of Appeal have been authorized for interlocutory appeal under HRS § 641-1(b) (2016). Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all pending motions are dismissed. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai i, July 5, 2024.
