Circuit Judge Browning, in place of Recktenwald, C.J., recused, and Circuit Judge Nacino, in place of Pollack, J., recused) Petitioner/Defendant-Appellant Tevita Ungounga’s application for writ of certiorari filed on April 2, 2013, was filed more than thirty days after the filing of the ICA’s December 18, 2012, judgment on appeal.

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the application for writ of certiorari is dismissed.

Walter J. Rodby /s/ Paula A. Nakayama for petitioner /s/ Simeon R. Acoba, Jr. Debbie L. Tanakaya for respondent /s/ Sabrina S. McKenna /s/ R. Mark Browning /s/ Edwin C. Nacino
