NO. 24372 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I STATE OF HAWAI#I, Plaintiff-Appellee vs. JEWEL Y. LOVE, Defendant-Appellant APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE THIRD CIRCUIT (CR. NO. F-89500/PN) (By: ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Ramil, and Acoba, JJ.) Upon review of the record, it appears that the district court s decisions on change of venue, continuance of trial, discharge of counsel and other pretrial matters are interlocutory decisions appealable by appellant only upon entry of final judgment. See HRS § 641-12; State v. Valiani, 57 Haw. 133, 552 P.2d 75 (1976). A judgment of conviction has not been entered against appellant. Thus, the appeal of the interlocutory decisions is premature and we lack jurisdiction. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, September 11, 2001.
