Description
Defendant-appellant Calvin G. Bettencourt, Jr. (appellant) appeals from the family court's August 6, 1993 order requiring, inter alia, that appellant pay attorney's fees incurred by plaintiff-appellee Ruby Ann Bettencourt, nka Ruby Ann Richardson (appellee), as a result of appellant's failure to follow court rules [hereinafter, the sanction order]. Appellant also appeals from the family court's May 23, 1994 order, wherein the court held that the sanction order "currently stands and is enforceable" [hereinafter, the May 23, 1994 order]. Because we have no basis upon which to review the sanction order, we dismiss that portion of appellant's appeal, and we affirm the May 23, 1994 order. Additionally, we are referring the supreme court record of this case to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel to determine whether the lack of professionalism demonstrated by appellant's counsel in this case violates the Hawai'i Rules of Professional Conduct (HRPC).
