ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Upon review of the record, it appears that:
(1) On October 22, 2020, Defendant/Counterclaim Plaintiff-Appellant Suzanne Josefowski (Josefowski) filed the notice of appeal through counsel;
(2) On June 25, 2021, the court granted Josefowski's counsel's May 26, 2021 motion to withdraw as counsel and June 23, 2021 motion for a second extension of time for the statement of jurisdiction and opening brief. The court ordered the appellate clerk to mail a copy of the order to Josefowski at the address listed in counsel's motion to withdraw as counsel, and the court extended the deadline for the statement of jurisdiction and opening brief to July 26, 2021. The same day, the appellate clerk mailed a copy of the June 25, 2021 order to Josefowski;
(3) Josefowski failed to file the statement of jurisdiction and opening brief, or request another extension of time;
(4) On August 3, 2021, the appellate clerk entered a default notice informing Josefowski that the time for filing the statement of jurisdiction and opening brief had expired, the matter would be called to the court's attention on August 13, 2021, for appropriate action, which could include dismissal of the appeal, under Hawai'i Rules of Appellate Procedure Rules 12.1(e) and 30, and Josefowski could request relief from default by motion; and
(5) Josefowski took no further action in this appeal.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.
