APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT (CIV. NO. 98-0098).
MOON, C.J., LEVINSON, NAKAYAMA, RAMIL, and ACOBA, JJ.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) the circuit court's March 27, 2001 judgment, the Honorable Sabrina S. McKenna, presiding, purports to be the final judgment on the complaint and the counterclaims, but the judgment does not, on its face, enter judgment in favor of and against the parties on the complaint and on the counterclaims; see Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming Wright, 76 Haw. 115, 119-20, 869 P.2d 1334, 1338-39 (1994) (In a multiple claim or multiple party circuit court case, a judgment that purports to be the final judgment must identify the claims for which the judgment is entered and must, on its face, show finality as to all claims.); and thus, (2) this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
