Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David M. Robinson, Honolulu, for plaintiff-appellant.

David Bettencourt, Honolulu, for appellee Greenwell.

Francis M. Izumi, Honolulu, for appellee Bradley-McCarter, Ltd.

D. Scott MacKinnon, Honolulu, for appellee Island Homes.

Before HAYASHI, C.J., and PADGETT and BURNS, JJ.


BURNS, Judge.

The issue in this case is whether a party in a family court case may pursue a civil court action involving different parties and different issues when the result sought would contradict a final and unappealed order issued in the family court case.

We hold that the civil court action may not be pursued in such a situation.

Plaintiff-Appellant Rudy Gamino and Doris Gamino were parties in a divorce action.
