SUMMARY DISPOSITION ORDER
In a foreclosure case, Defendant/Cross–Claim Defendant/Appellant Jon Santos (Santos ) pro se, appeals from the June 25, 2014 Judgment on a decree of foreclosure entered in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit (circuit court ) in favor of Plaintiff/Appellee Bank of America, N.A., Successor by Merger to BAC Home Loans Servicing LP, fka Countrywide Home Loans Services LP and against Santos; Defendant/Cross–Claim Plaintiff/ThirdParty Plaintiff/Appellee First Hawai‘ian Bank; and Defendants/Cross–Claim Defendants/Appellees Hawai‘ian Cement and A & B P & L LLLC, Successor in Interest to A & B Properties.
The Honororable Peter T. Cahill presided.
--------
On appeal, Santos claims to be the “Reigning Monarch” of the Hawai‘ian Islands and asserts the State of Hawai‘i and its courts are illegitimate, and therefore have no jurisdiction over Santos or his actions.
Upon careful review of 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, as well as the relevant statutory and case law, we conclude Santos' appeal is without merit. See State v. Lorenzo, 77 Hawai‘i 219, 883 P.2d 641 (App.1994).
Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the June 25, 2014 Judgment entered in the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit is affirmed.
