APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT (CIV. NO. 01-1-0648)
ORDER DISMISSING APPEALMOON, C.J., LEVINSON, NAKAYAMA, RAMIL, AND ACOBA, JJ.
Upon review of the statements supporting and contesting jurisdiction and the record, it appears that the circuit court's October 29, 2001 order granting summary judgment in Civil No. 01-1-0648 has not been reduced to a separate judgment, as required by HRCP 58. See Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming Wright, 76 Haw. 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994). Thus, this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
