DIANE SMITH, Respondent/Petitioner-Appellee, v. JAMES R. SMITH, Petitioner/Respondent-Appellant

James R. Smith, petitioner pro se

By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack and Wilson, JJ.

CERTIORARI TO THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS
(CAAP-13-0003520; FC-DA NO. 13-1-0083)
ORDER DISMISSING APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI
()

Petitioner/Respondent-Appellant James R. Smith's application for writ of certiorari filed on August 31, 2015, was filed more than thirty days after the filing of the ICA's July 17, 2015, judgment on appeal. The application is untimely and thus, this courts lacks appellate jurisdiction. See Hawai'i Revised Statutes § 602-59(c) (Supp. 2011); Hawai'i Rules of Appellate Procedure Rule 40.1(a). Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the application for writ of certiorari is dismissed.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, September 22, 2015. James R. Smith, petitioner pro se
