Question presented

Whether the Memorandum disposition, where the majority of the split appellate panel affirmed the district court’s appealed decision without having conducted a de novo review of the district court’s interpretation of the Hawaii statute at issue, conflicts with Salve Regina College v. Russell, 499 U.S. 225, 111 S. Ct. 1217, 113 L. Ed. 2d 190 (1991).
