ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Upon review of the record, it appears that: (1) the judgment entered on October 11, 2000, which purports to be the final judgment in Civil No. 96-3968, does not enter judgment in favor of and against the parties on the plaintiff's complaint; see Jenkins v. Cades Schutte Fleming Wright, 76 Haw. 115, 119-20, 869 P.2d 1334, 1338-39 (1994) (a judgment entered pursuant to HRCP 58 is not appealable unless it enters judgment in favor of and against the appropriate parties on the claim for which the judgment is entered); and thus, (2) this appeal is premature and we lack jurisdiction. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
