CERTIORARI TO THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS (CAAP-15-0000479; CIVIL CASE NO. 1RC15-1-3764)

ORDER DISMISSING APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)

Upon consideration of petitioner/defendant-appellant Michael Watkins's application for writ of certiorari, it appears that Watkins's application was due on September 21, 2016, which was 30 days after the Intermediate Court of Appeals' August 22, 2016 judgment. Hawai'i Revised Statutes (HRS) \ $602 - 59 (c) (S u p p . 2014); H a w a i^{'} i R u l e s o f A p p e l l a t e P r o c e d u r e (H R A P) R u l e 40.1 (a) (1) (2016) .

H R S$ \ $602 - 59$ (c); HRAP Rule 40.1(a)(4).

Watkins's application was filed on October 24, 2016. The application is untimely and thus, this court lacks appellate

*2 jurisdiction. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the application for writ of certiorari is dismissed.
