APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SECOND CIRCUIT
(CASE NO. 2CC191000312)
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
(By: Wadsworth, Presiding Judge, McCullen and Gluck, JJ.)
Upon review of the record, it appears that:
(1) On May 21, 2026, self-represented Defendant-
Appellant Rosemond K. Pettigrew (Pettigrew) filed a notice of
appeal.
(2) On August 27, 2026, the appellate clerk entered a
"Default of Opening Brief," which informed Pettigrew that the
time for filing the opening brief expired on August 24, 2026,
the matter would be called to the court's attention on
September 8, 2026 for action that may include dismissal of the
appeal under Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate Procedure Rule 30, and
Pettigrew could request relief from default by motion.
(3) Pettigrew failed to file the opening brief, did
not request relief from default, and has not taken any further
action in this appeal.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is
dismissed.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all pending motions are
dismissed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, November 4, 2026.
