SUMMARY DISPOSITION ORDER
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)
Petitioner/Respondent-Appellee-Cross-Appellant/Appellee
UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company formerly doing business as
Evercare (UnitedHealthcare) applies for writ of certiorari,
challenging the Intermediate Court of Appeals’s (ICA) August 19,
2015 Judgment issued pursuant to its June 30, 2015 Memorandum
Opinion and August 19, 2015 Order of Correction. The ICA vacated
final judgments of the Circuit Court of the First Circuit

(circuit court) that were entered on June 20, 2012 in Civil No.
11-1-2903-11, Civil No. 11-1-2542-10, and Civil No. 11-1-2533-10.
Upon consideration of UnitedHealthcare’s appeal, the specific
facts of these cases, together with all submissions in support
thereof, we conclude that the circuit court had subject matter
jurisdiction over each of the consolidated cases. The ICA’s
judgment vacating the circuit court’s judgments is affirmed.1

Although we affirm the ICA’s disposition in this case, we do not
endorse the ICA’s interpretation of Hawai#i Management Alliance Association v.
Insurance Commissioner, 106 Hawai#i 21, 100 P.3d 952 (2004).
