ORDER
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)
Upon review of the document received by the appellate
clerk’s office from plaintiff Nicholas L. Abel, which was filed
as a complaint on February 24, 2020, it appears that this court
lacks jurisdiction to consider the complaint. See HRS § 602-5.
Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the complaint is dismissed.
IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that all pending motions
are dismissed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, June 23, 2020.
