ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Upon review of the record, it appears that this court informed Appellant Royal Lamarr Hardy by letter dated November 3, 2000 that the time for filing the opening brief expired on October 16, 2000 and that, pursuant to Rule 30 of the Hawaii Rules of Appellate Procedure, the matter would be called to the attention of the court for such action as the court deemed proper including dismissal of the appeal; and appellant having failed to respond to said letter or to otherwise oppose dismissal; therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.
