NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAI'I REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL AS MOOT

Petitioner-Appellant Faustino Abadilla (Abadilla) appeals from the "Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order Denying Petitioner's May 28, 2009 Petition for Post-Conviction Relief (Rule 40, HRPP)," entered December 2, 2009 in the Circuit Court of the Third Circuit.1

Abadilla's "Petition for Post Conviction Relief (Rule 40, HRPP)" and appeal challenge the terms of his minimum terms of imprisonment fixed by the Hawai'i Paroling Authority.2 All of Abadilla's minimum terms of imprisonment have expired.

Therefore, this appeal is moot, and IT IS HEREBY ORDERED dismissed.

FootNotes


1. The Honorable Greg K. Nakamura presided.
2. Respondent-Appellee State of Hawai'i argues that the expiration of Abadilla's minimum terms was properly calculated based on State v. Tauiliili, 96 Haw. 195, 29 P.3d 914 (2001). See State v. Garcia, 125 Haw. 429, 263 P.3d 709 (2010) (applying the Tauiliili decision retroactively).
