APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT (CIV. NO. 07-1-0234)

ORDER REJECTING APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI
By: MOON, C.J. for the court.[1]

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

Petitioner-plaintiff-appellant Richard Eline’s “notice of appeal” to the supreme court filed on April 16, 2008, seeks review of the intermediate appellate court’s dismissal of his appeal for non-payment or non-waiver of the filing fee, and is, therefore, deemed an application for writ of certiorari. The application is hereby rejected.
