Merit Appeals Board March 31, 2021
<br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: Yeah. So, basically, Madam Chair, if I may
<br />CHR. CABANAS: Sure, go ahead.
<br />MR. YOSHIMOTO: So, just to apprise the parties, these are the suggested deadlines that's
<br />going to be set by the Merit Appeals Board today.
<br />April 19d', 2021, is the deadline for parties to submit their documents which consists of exhibits,
<br />witness list, motions, memorandums—at the close of business, at 4:30 p.m.
<br />And then, for May 3rd, 2021, for deadline for the parties to file their responsive pleadings or to
<br />respond to those initial documents, again, by close of business, 4:30 p.m.
<br />And, also, to notify the parties that they would need to submit all documents to the Board's
<br />secretary, Glynis Yamada, via email or regular mail or hand -delivered to—as well as to the
<br />opposing parry. And also to inform the parties that the Merit Appeals Board requires one
<br />original and eight copies of all submittals.
<br />So, this will be contained in a letter to confirm this, so there's no confusion. Madam Chair, so
<br />that's the sug those are the suggested deadlines. And so, you can just ask the appellant if he
<br />has any concerns with that. If he's okay with that, then the Board can approve those deadlines.
<br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. Thank you very much, Counsel. Mr. DiNapoli, as our Deputy
<br />Corporation Counsel read to you the deadlines—are those deadlines acceptable to you to adhere
<br />to?
<br />MR. DiNAPOLI: Yeah, they're—that's fine.
<br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, very good. Thank you so much. And so, now, I need to entertain a
<br />motion to approve the deadlines, as set forth—April 19, 2021, which is a Monday, deadline for
<br />parties to submit their documents by close of business, 4:30 p.m. And the other deadline is
<br />May 3rd, 2021, a Monday, deadline for parties to respond with responsive pleadings by
<br />4:30 p.m., close of business. May I have a motion?
<br />MR. KUNZ: So moved.
<br />CHR. CABANAS: Motion made by Member Kunz. A second?
<br />MS. HUGHES: Second.
<br />CHR. CABANAS: Seconded by Ms. Hughes. Thank you. And so, the vote I'm going to call
<br />for the vote to approve those two dates as deadlines for the parties, the appellant, Mr. DiNapoli,
<br />and the County of Hawaii. And so, the vote will be—Mr. Ventura, your vote?
<br />MR. VENTURA: Aye.
