Where defendants contended there was another exception to finality of judgment requirement of this section, specifically, that an order denying a motion to dismiss an indictment based on double jeopardy grounds fell into collateral order exception to final judgment rule, collateral order exception permitted an interlocutory appeal of an order denying a pretrial motion to dismiss an indictment on double jeopardy grounds. 77 H. 351, 884 P.2d 729.
Appellate court lacked jurisdiction under this section and HRAP rule 4(b) where defendant failed to appeal within the 30-day time period mandated; defendant's motion to withdraw no contest plea did not "reopen" final judgment such that order denying defendant's motion became the appealable final judgment under this section and HRAP rule 4(b). 96 H. 462 (App.), 32 P.3d 106.
