                                vs.

                        ORIGINAL PROCEEDING


                               ORDER

(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, McKenna, and Pollack, JJ.)


          Upon review of the complaint filed in the supreme court


by plaintiff Arwin R. Echineque on August 20, 2012, it appears


that we lack jurisdiction to consider the complaint.      See HRS §


602-5 (Supp. 2011).   Therefore,


          IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the complaint is dismissed.


          DATED:   Honolulu, Hawai'i, September 6, 2012.
