NO. 03-1-0603) ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL (By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.) Upon review of the record, it appears that we do not have jurisdiction over Plaintiff-Appellant Lee Ann Miranda s appeal from the Honorable Richard W. Pollack s December 15, 2003 Order Granting Defendants Motion for Summary Judgment in Civil No. 03-1-0603 (RWP). Pursuant to the separate document rule under Rule 58 of the Hawai#i Rules of Civil Procedure (HRCP), [a]n appeal may be taken from circuit court orders resolving claims against parties only after the orders have been reduced to a judgment and the judgment has been entered in favor of and against the appropriate parties pursuant to HRCP [Rule] 58[.] Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming & Wright, 76 Hawai#i 115, 119, 869 P.2d 1334, 1338 (1994). The circuit court has not reduced the appealed December 15, 2003 order to a separate judgment *** NOT FOR PUBLICATION *** pursuant to HRCP Rule 58. Therefore, this appeal is premature, and we lack appellate jurisdiction. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, April 13, 2004. 2
