APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIFTH CIRCUIT (CIV. NO. 07-1-0131)

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER
By: MOON, C.J. for the court.[1]

[1] Considered by: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.

Upon consideration of the application for transfer filed by petitioners/plaintiffs-appellants 1000 Friends of Kauai and Richard Hoeppner, the papers in support and in opposition, and the record, it appears that petitioners’s case does not meet the requirements for mandatory or discretionary transfer set forth in HRS §§ 602-58(a)(1) and -58(b)(1) (Supp. 2007). Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the application for transfer is denied.
