Haw. Code R. § 6-23-14.02 - Motions to dismiss or for summary judgment

(a) The presiding officer, upon motion by a party, may at any time issue an order for summary judgment as to all or any part of the claims, if no genuine issue of material fact exists and a party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.

(b) The presiding officer, upon motion by a party or on the presiding officer's own motion, may at any time issue an order dismissing the petition on the grounds of lack of standing, lack of jurisdiction, failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted, or any other ground upon which the petition may be dismissed prior to the hearing. In addition, the presiding officer may issue an order of dismissal of the petition upon a stipulation of the parties or upon a voluntary dismissal by the petitioner.

(c) An order that grants or denies disposal of some or all claims in the petition shall constitute a recommended decision pursuant to section 6-23-17 if issued by the hearing officer and not considered an interlocutory order. An order that grants or denies disposal of some or all claims in the petition shall constitute a proposed decision pursuant to section 623-18 if issued by the board upon receipt of a recommended decision and not considered an interlocutory order. An order that disposes of some but not all of the claims in the petition shall be considered an interlocutory order and shall be appealable under section 91-14, HRS, only after a final decision has been issued, or if deferral of review would deprive the appellant of adequate judicial review under section 91-14, HRS.
