NO. 23346 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I

MELODIE C. ADUJA, Plaintiff-Appellant vs. TOSHIKI SCHUSTER, SIEGFRIED SCHUSTER, MID-PACIFIC OF HAWAI#I, INC., and WESLEY K.C. LAU, Defendants-Appellees, and BUREAU OF CONVEYANCES; JOHN DOES 1-10; JANE DOES 1-10; DOE PARTNERSHIPS 1-10; DOE CORPORATIONS 1-10; DOE ENTITIES 1-10; and DOE GOVERNMENTAL UNITS 1-10, Defendants

APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT (CIV. NO. 99-3976)

(By:

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.)

Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) the March 9, 2000 order granting summary judgment has not been reduced to a separate judgment, as required by Rule 58 of the Hawai#i Rules of Civil Procedure; and, thus, (2) this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. See Jenkins v. Cades Schutte

Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawai#i 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994). Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, July 12, 2000.
