*** NOT FOR PUBLICATION *** NO. 25061 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I CHRISTOPHER BOYTER, Appellant-Appellant, vs. STATE OF HAWAI#I, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, EMPLOYMENT SECURITY APPEALS REFEREES' OFFICE, and GEMINI/AURA, Appellees-Appellees, and ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITIES FOR RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY, INC., Employer-Appellee. APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT (CIV. NO. 01-1-2882) (By: SUMMARY DISPOSITION ORDER Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy JJ.) The appellant-appellant Christopher Boyter appeals from the judgment of the first circuit court, the Honorable Eden Elizabeth Hifo presiding, filed on May 2, 2002, in favor of the appellees-appellees State of Hawai#i, Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) and Employment Security Appeals Referees' Office (ESARO) and the employer-appellee Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA). Boyter contends that the circuit court: On appeal,

(1) erred in concluding

that there was sufficient evidence to support the ESARO's decision that Boyter was disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits, on the basis that Boyter had voluntarily terminated his employment relationship with AURA without good cause; and (2) refusing to permit Boyter to submit new evidence on appeal before the circuit court.

*** NOT FOR PUBLICATION *** Upon carefully reviewing the record and the briefs submitted by the parties and having given due consideration to the arguments advanced and the issues raised by the parties, we affirm the order of the circuit court. Hawai#i Revised Statutes
