SUMMARY DISPOSITION ORDER

Plaintiff-Appellant State of Hawai'i charged Defendant-Appellee Brannon Shawn Marks via Felony Information and Non-Felony Complaint with Forgery in the Second Degree in violation of Hawaii Revised Statutes ("HRS") section 708-852 (2014) (Count 1), Unauthorized Possession of Confidential Personal Information ("UPCPI") in violation of HRS section 708-839.55 (2014) (Count 2), and Identity Theft in the Third Degree in violation of HRS section 708-839.8 (2014) (Count 3). Marks moved to dismiss the UPCPI charge on the grounds that HRS section 708-839.55 was unconstitutionally vague and overbroad, and the complaint was defective because it did not define "confidential personal information" and thus failed to provide Marks with notice of the nature and cause of the State's accusation.1

The Circuit Court of the First Circuit ("Circuit Court")2 granted Marks' motion in part and dismissed the UPCPI charge in Count 2 with prejudice on the basis that it was unconstitutionally overbroad. Marks' motion was denied as to his argument that the statute is unconstitutionally vague and punitive.

The State appeals from the "Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Count 2 for Unconst[itut]ionally Br[oa]d, Vague and Punitive Statute and for Violation of Due Process" ("Order Granting Motion to Dismiss"), filed on June 13, 2016 in the Circuit Court. Here, the State argues that the Circuit Court erred (1) in concluding that the UPCPI statute was unconstitutionally overbroad, and (2) to the extent that it concludes that no state of mind is required for the offense of UPCPI.

Based on the Hawai'i Supreme Court's decision in State v. Pacquing, 139 Hawai'i 302, 389 P.3d 897 (2016), we concur with the State's first assertion of error.

Marks was charged with possessing another person's bank account number without that person's authorization. HRS chapter 708 defines "confidential personal information" as "information in which an individual has a significant privacy interest, including but not limited to a driver's license number, a social security number, an identifying number of a depository account, [or] a bank account number[.]" Haw. Rev. Stat. § 708-800. In accordance with Pacquing, the UPCPI statute was not facially overbroad. See Pacquing, 139 Hawai'i at 310-13, 389 P.3d at 905-08. As our resolution of this issue is dispositive, we do not reach the question of whether the Court concluded that no state of mind was required for the offense of UPCPI.

Therefore, we vacate the Order Granting Motion to Dismiss and remand the case to the Circuit Court for further proceedings consistent with this Summary Disposition Order.
