APPEAL FROM THE FAMILY COURT OF THE THIRD CIRCUIT (FC-S NO. 22-0045)
By: Leonard, Presiding Judge, Hiraoka and Wadsworth, JJ.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Upon review of the record, it appears that:
(1) The statement of jurisdiction and opening brief were due on or before November 7, 2023, and November 30, 2023, respectively;
(2) Self-represented Mother-Appellant N.G. (Mother)failed to file either document, or request an extension of time;

(3) On December 5, 2023, the appellate clerk entered a default notice informing Mother that the time for filing the statement of jurisdiction and opening brief had expired, the matter would be called to the court's attention on December 15, 2023, for appropriate action, which could include dismissal of the appeal under Hawai'i Rules of Appellate Procedure Rules 12.1(e) and 30, and Mother could request relief from default by motion; and
(4) Mother has not taken any further action in this appeal.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed.
