April 23, 2003.
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT (CIV. NO. 1RC96-3799)
MOON, C.J., LEVINSON and NAKAYAMA, JJ., CIRCUIT JUDGE PERKINS, IN PLACE OF ACOBA, J., UNAVAILABLE, and CIRCUIT JUDGE POLLACK, ASSIGNED BY REASON OF VACANCY
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Upon review of the record, it appears that the district court's December 20, 2002 oral decision denying appellants' motions for post-judgment relief, the Honorable Christopher P. McKenzie, presiding, is appealable upon entry of an order denying the motions. An order denying the motions has not been entered. Thus, this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. See HRS § 641-1(a); HRAP 4(a)(1) and 4(a)(5). Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
