APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT (CIV. NO. 91-4242)
MOON, C.J., LEVINSON, NAKAYAMA, RAMIL, and ACOBA, JJ.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) the judgment entered on January 5, 2001, which purports to be the final judgment on the August 1, 2000 order granting the motion to dismiss Civil No. 91-4242, does not enter judgment in favor of and against the parties on the claims asserted in the complaint; see Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming Wright, 76 Haw. 115, 119-20, 869 P.2d 1334, 1338-39 (1994) (a judgment entered pursuant to HRCP 58 is not appealable unless it enters judgment in favor of and against the appropriate parties on the claims for which the judgment is entered) 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.
