Grandinetti v. Sumera-Lee

Summary

The Hawaiʻi Intermediate Court of Appeals dismissed Francis Grandinetti’s appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction because the notice of appeal did not identify a final judgment or appealable order. The court also dismissed all pending motions after noting that Grandinetti failed to respond to an order to show cause.

Holdings

1. The Intermediate Court of Appeals lacked appellate jurisdiction because no appealable judgment or order had been entered or announced when Grandinetti filed his appeal.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the Intermediate Court of Appeals had appellate jurisdiction when the notice of appeal identified no final judgment or appealable order.
2. Whether the appeal should be dismissed because the notice of appeal failed to designate the judgment, order, or part thereof being appealed.

Disposition

dismissed
