NO. 24477 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I JAMES C. JIM, Appellant-Appellant vs. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, EDWIN SHIMODA, INSTITUTIONAL DIVISION ADMINISTRATOR, Appellees-Appellees APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT (CIV. NO. 01-1-1832) ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL (By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.) Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) the circuit court's July 5, 2001 order dismissing Civil No. 01-11832, 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 Hawai#i 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994). Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, December 5, 2001.
