IN THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
Y.M., Petitioner-Appellee, v.
J.M., Respondent-Appellant.
APPEAL FROM THE FAMILY COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
(CASE NO. 1FDA-XX-XXXXXXX)
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
AND MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT THE APPELLATE RECORD
(By: Leonard, Presiding Judge, and Wadsworth and McCullen, JJ.)
Upon consideration of Self-represented Respondent-
Appellant J.M.'s (Appellant) motion for reconsideration of
summary disposition order [HRAP Rule 40] (Motion for
Reconsideration) and motion to supplement the appellate record
[HRAP Rule 10(e)] (Motion to Supplement), both filed on
October 12, 2026, and the record, it appears that:
(1) Appellant seeks reconsideration of this court's
Summary Disposition Order filed on September 30, 2026, and to
supplement the record with "ten categories of family court orders
and hearing records from related proceedings involving the same
parties and the same alleged incidents that form the basis of the
Order for Protection affirmed in this case";
(2) A motion for reconsideration is not a vehicle for
arguments that could not have been presented earlier, see
Citizens for Equitable & Responsible Gov't v. Cnty. of Hawai#i,
108 Hawai#i 318, 335, 120 P.3d 217, 234 (2005); and
NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAII REPORTS OR THE PACIFIC REPORTER
(3) Appellant presents no point of law or fact that
this court overlooked or misapprehended. See Hawai#i Rules of
Appellate Procedure Rule 40(b).
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion for
Reconsideration is denied. The Motion to Supplement is denied as
moot.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, October 22, 2026.
