          ON REMAND FROM THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT

                    SUMMARY DISPOSITION ORDER
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, and Pollack, JJ., and
    Circuit Judge Nakasone, in place of Wilson, J., recused)

          This appeal concerns the arbitrability of certain
“purchase-based” claims pursuant to an arbitration clause
contained in the Declaration of Condominium Property Regime of
Kapalua Bay Condominium.      On June 30, 2015, we affirmed the
Circuit Court of the Second Circuit’s (circuit court) order
denying Defendants’ motion to compel arbitration pursuant to our
opinion in Narayan v. Ritz-Carlton Development Co., 135 Hawai#i
327, 350 P.3d 995 (2015) (Narayan I).
          On January 11, 2016, the Supreme Court of the United
States vacated and remanded Narayan I and this case for further
consideration in light of its decision in DIRECTV, Inc. v.
Imburgia, 136 S. Ct. 463 (2015).
          The questions presented in this appeal are controlled
by our decision in Narayan v. Ritz-Carlton Development Co., No.
SCWC-12-0000819, at 3 (Haw. July 14, 2017) (pub. op.) (Narayan
II), which affirmed our decision in Narayan I and held that
“under long-standing Hawai#i contract law, the arbitration clause
is unconscionable.”

 *** NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST’S HAWAI#I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER ***


          Pursuant to our analysis in Narayan II, the circuit
court’s August 26, 2013 order denying Defendants’ motion to
compel arbitration is affirmed.
          DATED:    Honolulu, Hawai#i, July 14, 2017.
