          CERTIORARI TO THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS

                     SUMMARY DISPOSITION ORDER
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)

           Petitioner/Respondent-Appellee-Cross-Appellant/Appellee

UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company formerly doing business as

Evercare (UnitedHealthcare) applies for writ of certiorari,

challenging the Intermediate Court of Appeals’s (ICA) August 19,

2015 Judgment issued pursuant to its June 30, 2015 Memorandum

Opinion and August 19, 2015 Order of Correction.            The ICA vacated

final judgments of the Circuit Court of the First Circuit


                                      2

(circuit court) that were entered on June 20, 2012 in Civil No.

11-1-2903-11, Civil No. 11-1-2542-10, and Civil No. 11-1-2533-10.

Upon consideration of UnitedHealthcare’s appeal, the specific

facts of these cases, together with all submissions in support

thereof, we conclude that the circuit court had subject matter

jurisdiction over each of the consolidated cases.            The ICA’s

judgment vacating the circuit court’s judgments is affirmed.1

            DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, September 22, 2016.

            Although we affirm the ICA’s disposition in this case, we do not
endorse the ICA’s interpretation of Hawai#i Management Alliance Association v.
Insurance Commissioner, 106 Hawai#i 21, 100 P.3d 952 (2004).
