(3) Appellant did not file either document;
(4) On June 19, 2015, the appellate clerk filed a default of the statement of jurisdiction and opening brief, informing Appellant that the time for each document had expired, and, pursuant to Hawai'i Rules of Appellate Procedure Rule 30, the matter would be called to the court's attention on June 29, 2015, for such action as the court deems proper, which could include dismissal; and
