(3) On December 3, 2021, the appellate clerk entered a default notice informing Tigilau that the time for filing the opening brief had expired, the matter would be called to the court's attention on December 13, 2021, for appropriate action, which could include dismissal of the appeal, under Hawai'i Rules of Appellate Procedure Rule 30, and Tigilau could request relief from default by motion; and
(4) Tigilau has not taken any further action in this appeal since filing the motion for extension of time on August 24, 2020.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.
