APPEAL FROM THE THIRD CIRCUIT COURT (CIV. NO. 03-1-0049K)
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Upon review of the statements contesting jurisdiction and the record, it appears that the April 23, 2003 order denying the motion for a preliminary injunction is not an appealable final order under HRS § 641-1(a). It further appears that the May 23, 2003 notice of appeal by appellant Kulana Huli Honua is invalid because it was prepared, signed and filed by Mikahala Roy and David Roy, who are not attorneys licensed to practice law in Hawai`i and cannot represent Kulana Huli Honua before the supreme court. See HRS §§ 605-2 and 605-14; Oahu Plumbing and Sheet Metal, Ltd. v. Kona Construction, Inc., 60 Haw. 372, 376-377, 590 P.2d 570, 574 (1979). Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
