APPEAL FROM THE FAMILY COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT
(CASE NO. 1DV211007519)
ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
(By: Leonard, Presiding Judge, Hiraoka and McCullen, JJ.)
Upon consideration of Plaintiff-Appellant A.S.'s
August 3, 2026 Motion for Relief from Default and to Reinstate
Appeal Pursuant to [Hawai i Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP)]
Rules 2 and 26(e) (Motion), which the court construes as a motion
to suspend the time to file a motion for reconsideration of the
June 1, 2026 Order Dismissing Appeal, under HRAP Rules 2 and
40(a), and a motion for reconsideration of the June 1, 2026
order, under HRAP Rule 40, the papers in support, and the record,
it appears that A.S. demonstrates good cause to suspend the time
to file a motion for reconsideration and to reinstate the appeal.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion is
granted and the appeal is reinstated. See HRAP Rules 2, 26(e),
40. The deadline to file the statement of jurisdiction and
opening brief is extended to September 11, 2026. Any further
default of the statement of jurisdiction or opening brief may
result in sanctions authorized by HRAP Rules 12.1(e) or 30,
