          CERTIORARI TO THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS

            (ICA NO. CAAP-11-0000153; FC-S NO. 08-11988)


       ORDER DISMISSING APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI

 (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, J., Circuit Judge Del Rosario,

in place of McKenna, J., recused, and Circuit Judge Kim, assigned

   by reason of vacancy, with Acoba, J., dissenting separately)


           Petitioner/Appellant Mother’s application for writ of


certiorari, filed on May 8, 2012, was filed more than thirty days


after the filing of the ICA’s February 9, 2012 judgment on


appeal.   The application is untimely and thus, this court lacks


appellate jurisdiction.     See HRS § 602-59(c) (Supp. 2011); HRAP


Rule 40.1(a).   Therefore,


           IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the application for writ of


certiorari is dismissed.


           DATED:   Honolulu, Hawai'i, June 21, 2012.
