NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAI'I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
(CIVIL NO. 13-1-0059) ORDER
(By: Nakamura, Chief Judge, Ginoza and Chan, JJ.)
Upon consideration of (1) Defendant-Appellee Uponor, Inc.'s Motion for Reconsideration of Memorandum Opinion Filed July 25, 2017; (2) Defendants-Appellees Dorvin D. Leis Co., Inc. and Group Builders, Inc.'s Motion for Reconsideration of Memorandum Opinion, Filed July 25, 2017; and (3) Defendant-Appellee Sto [Corp.'s] Motion for Reconsideration of Memorandum Opinion, Filed July 25, 2017 (collectively Defendants' Motions for Reconsideration), all filed pursuant to Rule 40 of the Hawai'i Rules of Appellate Procedure on August 4, 2017, it appears that we did not overlook or misapprehend any points of law or fact when we entered the July 25, 2017 Memorandum Opinion.
We note that Uponor, Inc. requests that we take judicial notice of a nationwide class action settlement that Uponor, Inc. contends supports its res judicata argument. However, we decline to take judicial notice of the class action settlement as it was not raised to the Circuit Court of the Fifth Circuit. Moreover, it remains unclear how the class action settlement affects the claims in this case. Uponor, Inc. may raise the class action settlement in the circuit court on remand. --------
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants' Motions for Reconsideration are denied.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, August 24, 2017.
