KELLY v. 1250 OCEANSIDE PARTNERS, 25996 (Haw. 11-25-2003)

140 P.3d 985

25996Supreme Court of Hawaii.
November 25, 2003.

APPEAL FROM THE THIRD CIRCUIT COURT (CIV. NO. 00-1-0192K)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

MOON, C.J., LEVINSON, NAKAYAMA, ACOBA, AND DUFFY, JJ.

Upon review of the record, it appears that the judgment entered on June 26, 2003 purports to be the final judgment on the claims asserted in Counts II, V, VI and VII of the Fifth Amended Complaint, but the judgment does not identify the parties for whom the judgment is entered and does not enter judgment in favor of and against those parties, as required b Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming Wright, 76 Haw. 115, 119-120, 869 P.2d 1334, 1338-39 (1994) (“[I]f a judgment purports to be the final judgment in a case involving multiple claims or multiple parties, the judgment must specifically identify the party or parties for and against whom the judgment is entered and must identify the claims for which it is entered[.]”). Thus, this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeals by defendant-appellant 1250 Oceanside Partners, cross-appellant Protect Keopuka Ohana and cross-appellant State of Hawai`i Department of Health and Bruce Anderson are dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
