IN THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS

OF THE STATE OF HAWAI I

STATE OF HAWAI I, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. SHANNON KAINOA RYSER KEALA, Defendant-Appellant

APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE THIRD CIRCUIT KONA DIVISION (CASE NO. 3DTC-22-061452)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL FOR LACK OF APPELLATE JURISDICTION (By: Ginoza, Chief Judge, Wadsworth and Chan, JJ.) Upon review of the record, it appears that Defendant-

Appellant Shannon Ryser, a.k.a., Shannon Kainoa Ryser Keala

(Ryser) appeals from the District Court of the Third Circuit's

(district court) October 20, 2022 Judgment and Notice of Entry of

Judgment, which dismissed one of three charges in this case,

October 20, 2022 Order and Notice of Entry of Order, which

ordered Ryser to return to court for a pre-trial conference, or

from the purported "final judgment" of the district court's

"claim of personal jurisdiction" over Ryser. We conclude that

the court lacks appellate jurisdiction because the district court

has not entered a final decision or a final judgment. Hawaii

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is

dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai i, January 11, 2023.
