APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUlT §§ (CASE NO. lDTI~O9-O20487) z

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL FOR LACK OF APPELLATE JURISDICTION

(By: Nakamura, C.J., Fujise and Leonard, JJ.)

Upon review of the record, it appears that we lack jurisdiction over the appeal that Defendant-Appellant Truman Lee Ketchmark (Appellant Ketchmark), pro se, has asserted from the Honorable Gerald H. Kibe's August 20, 2009 order and notice of entry of order in favor of Plaintiff~Appellee State of Hawafi (Appellee State) and against Appellant Ketchmark with respect to a citation for violating a pedestrian-control signal in violation of Hawafi Revised Statutes (HRS) § 29lC-33 (2007).

The August 20, 2009 order ended the trial de novo for Appellant Ketchmark's citation for violating a pedestrian-control signal in violation of HRS § 29lC-33, leaving nothing further for the district court to accomplish. Thereforey the August 20, 2009 order is an appealable final order under HRS § 641-l(a).

However, Appellant Ketchmark's appeal from the August 20, 2009 order is not timely, because Appellant Ketchmark did not file his December 7, 2009 notice of appeal within thirty

days after entry of the August 20, 2009 order, as required

pursuant to Hawafi Rules of Appellate Procedure Rule 4(a)(l).

NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST’S HAWAI‘I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER Therefore, we lack jurisdiction over Appellant Ketchmark‘s untimely appeal.

Accordingly, IT lS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. 2
