Upon review of the record, it appears that we do not have jurisdiction over Defendant-Appellant Josephine Helelani Puahi Rabago's (Appellant Rabago) appeal. An aggrieved party may

Schutte Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawai#i 115, 119, 869 P.2d 1334, 1338 (1994). The Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of

Hawai#i, the Honorable Joseph E. Cardoza presiding, has not reduced the dispositive orders in this case to a separate

premature and we lack appellate jurisdiction.
