NO. 23551 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I IN THE INTEREST OF JOHN DOE, Born on January 5, 1998 APPEAL FROM THE FAMILY COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT (FC-S NO. 99-06145) ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL (By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.) Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) the right to appeal the family court s April 12, 2000 order terminating parental rights and awarding permanent custody was conditioned upon the filing of a motion for reconsideration of the order within twenty days after the order was entered; see HRS § 571-54; In re Jane Doe, 77 Hawai#i 109, 113, 883 P.2d 30, 34 (1994); In re Jane Doe, 3 Haw. App. 391, 394, 651 P.2d 492, 494 (1982); (2) no motion for reconsideration was filed by fatherappellant; and, thus, (3) the jurisdictional requirements for appealing the April 12, 2000 order have not been met and we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, October 26, 2000.
