The Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals recently upheld Judge Hara’s dismissal of KAHEA, etc’s Mauna Kea Comprehensive Management Plan appeal. KAHEA, etc requested a contested case hearing after the BLNR approved the Mauna Kea CMP in 2009. The BLNR denied KAHEA, etc’s petition. They consequently appealed this decision to the Third Circuit Court.
