On September 10, 2012, plaintiff Arwin R. Echineque filed a complaint in this court. This court, however, lacks jurisdiction to consider the complaint. See HRS § 602-5 (Supp. 2011). Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the complaint is dismissed.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk of the appellate court shall not accept any further filings in this case.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, September 26, 2012.
