Upon consideration of self-represented Defendants/ Counterclaimants/Third-Party Plaintiffs-Appellants Aron Deutsch and Emily Wessel's (together, Appellants) December 10, 2025 Motion to Set Aside Dismissal, which the court construes as a motion for reconsideration of the May 13, 2025 Order Dismissing Appeal, the papers in support, and the record,1 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows: 1. The motion for reconsideration is dismissed as untimely. See HRAP Rule 40(a) ("A motion for reconsideration may be filed by a party only within 10 days after the filing of the opinion, dispositional order, or ruling . . . .").

1 The court did not consider Plaintiff/Counterclaim Defendant-Appellee Trevor Stephens' December 15, 2025 memorandum in opposition to the Motion to Set Aside Dismissal, because the court construed the motion as a motion for reconsideration, to which a response is not permitted unless requested by the court.
