October 8, 2001.
APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT (CIV. NO. 00-1-3759).
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 June 12, 2001 order dismissing Civil No. 00-1-3759, the Honorable Eden Elizabeth Hifo, presiding, has not been reduced to a separate judgment as required by HRCP 58 and 72(k); and thus, (2) this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. See Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming Wright, 76 Haw. 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994). Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
