State v. Kaneshiro

NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAI#I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER Electronically Filed Intermediate Court of Appeals CAAP-XX-XXXXXXX 19-AUG-2020 07:47 AM NO. CAAP-XX-XXXXXXX IN THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I STATE OF HAWAI#I, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. BRYENT K.M. KANESHIRO, Defendant-Appellant APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT HONOLULU DIVISION (1DTA-18-00712) ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL FOR LACK OF APPELLATE JURISDICTION (By: Chan, Presiding Judge, Hiraoka and Wadsworth, JJ.) Upon review of the record in CAAP-XX-XXXXXXX, it appears this court lacks appellate jurisdiction because no final judgment was entered by the District Court. Defendant-Appellant Bryent K. M. Kaneshiro (Appellant) appeals from the October 4, 2019 Notice of Entry of Judgment and/or Order and Plea/Judgment (Judgment). On October 4, 2019, the Judgment was entered which found Appellant guilty of Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of an Intoxicant, in violation of Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 291E-61 (Supp. 2018). However, there is a notation on the Judgment which states "LR 10C 11/1/19 8:30," and the October 4, 2019 Court Minutes state "Further Sentencing on LR-Waiting on ADLRO; (SENT 11/01/2019 AM-10C); Bail continued." Thus, the issue of license revocation was not adjudicated. "Appeals upon the record shall be allowed from all final decisions and final judgments of district courts in all criminal matters." HRS § NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAI#I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER 641-12 (2016). Therefore, there is no final judgment and the notice of appeal was prematurely filed. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, August 19, 2020. /s/ Derrick H.M. Chan Presiding Judge /s/ Keith K. Hiraoka Associate Judge /s/ Clyde J. Wadsworth Associate Judge 2
