IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
GUSTAFSON REAL ESTATE LLC,
Respondent/Plaintiff-Appellee,
vs.
MICHAEL WATKINS,
Petitioner/Defendant-Appellant.
CERTIORARI TO THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS
(CAAP-15-0000479; CIVIL CASE NO. 1RC15-1-3764)
ORDER DISMISSING APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)
Upon consideration of petitioner/defendant-appellant
Michael Watkins’s application for writ of certiorari, it appears
that Watkins’s application was due on September 21, 2016, which
was 30 days after the Intermediate Court of Appeals’ August 22,
2016 judgment. Hawai#i Revised Statutes (HRS) § 602-59(c) (Supp.
2014); Hawai#i Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP) Rule
40.1(a)(1)(2016). It further appears that Watkins requested an
extension of time on October 14, 2016, which was untimely and was
appropriately denied. HRS § 602-59(c); HRAP Rule 40.1(a)(4).
Watkins’s application was filed on October 24, 2016.
The application is untimely and thus, this court lacks appellate
jurisdiction. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the application for writ of
certiorari is dismissed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, November 10, 2016.
