Psak v. Kardash - ICA Denies Motion for Reconsideration
Summary
The Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals denied Respondent-Appellant Keith Kardash's motion for reconsideration of the March 31, 2026 summary disposition order in the civil case Psak v. Kardash. Kardash sought to vacate the summary disposition and consolidate the case with a related matter. The ICA panel found no demonstration of overlooked or misapprehended points of law or fact. All other pending motions were dismissed.
What changed
The Intermediate Court of Appeals denied Kardash's March 31, 2026 motion, which sought to vacate the summary disposition order and consolidate this case with related case CAAP-24-00000315. The court construed the filing as a motion for consolidation and reconsideration under Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate Procedure Rule 40. The three-judge panel determined Kardash failed to demonstrate any point of law or fact the court overlooked or misapprehended.
For parties involved in similar self-represented appeals before the Hawaii ICA, this order reinforces that reconsideration motions must specifically identify overlooked or misapprehended points to survive. The dismissal of all other pending motions indicates procedural finality for this appeal at the ICA level.
What to do next
- Monitor for further appellate proceedings
- Note dismissal of consolidation request
