Appellant Richard Eline (Eline) filed the notice of appeal by
delivering it to prison officials for mailing to the circuit

(2) The circuit court clerk received the notice of
appeal on February 3, 2021, and electronically filed it to create
this appeal on February 5, 2021;
(3) On March 19, 2021, the circuit court clerk filed
the record on appeal, and the appellate clerk notified the
parties that the statement of jurisdiction and opening brief were
due on or before March 29, 2021, and April 28, 2021,
respectively;
(4) Eline failed to file either document or request an

(5) On May 21, 2021, the appellate clerk notified Eline
that the time for filing the statement of jurisdiction and

opening brief had expired, the matter would be called to the
court's attention on June 1, 2021, for appropriate action, which
could include dismissal of the appeal, under Hawai#i Rules of
Appellate Procedure Rules 12.1(e) and 30, and Eline could request
relief from default by motion; and
(6) Eline took no further action in this appeal.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is
dismissed.
