L 2004, c 202, §82 provides:

"SECTION 82. Appeals pending in the supreme court as of the effective date of this Act [July 1, 2006] may be transferred to the intermediate appellate court or retained at the supreme court as the chief justice, in the chief justice's sole discretion, directs."

Appeals, when taken, see HRAP rule 4.

The supreme court does not have jurisdiction to entertain appeals from interlocutory orders of the district courts in criminal cases. 57 H. 133, 552 P.2d 75; 62 H. 297, 613 P.2d 362.

Where defendant's interlocutory appeal from district court's denial of defendant's motion to dismiss on double jeopardy grounds did not satisfy prerequisites of collateral order exception, supreme court did not have to decide whether exception may apply to appeals from collateral orders of district court. 82 H. 446, 923 P.2d 388.
