(1) In the Stipulation, under Hawai i Rules of

Appellate Procedure (HRAP) Rule 42(b), the parties stipulate to

dismiss with prejudice all claims and cross-claims against JPMC,

to bear their own attorneys' fees and costs as to the dismissal

of the claims and cross-claims against JPMC, and the Stipulation

does not affect Plaintiffs-Appellants Alfred Demello, Jr.,

Wiltz's (together, Appellants) claims against Defendant/

clerk docketed the appeal;

extension of time for the transcripts to July 14, 2025; and

approved as follows:
