DAVID YASUMURA and ALICE YASUMURA, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. KARL LILLIE and KJ T CORPORATION, a Hawaii Corporation, Defendants-Appellees.

24104Supreme Court of Hawaii.
July 19, 2001.

APPEAL FROM THE FIRST CIRCUIT COURT (CIV. NO. 95-3790)

MOON, C.J., LEVINSON, NAKAYAMA, RAMIL, and ACOBA, JJ.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) the circuit court’s February 7, 2001 order dismissing Civil No. 95-3790, the Honorable Sabrina S. McKenna, presiding, has not been reduced to a separate judgment, as required by HRCP 58; see Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming Wright, 76 Haw. 115, 869 P.2d 1334 (1994); Price v. Obayashi, 81 Haw. 171, 176, 914 P.2d 1364, 1371 (1996); and thus, (2) this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
