Legal disputes and financial showdowns often carry a heavy procedural weight, dragging through multiple jurisdictions before reaching a quiet resolution. That rhythm shifted when the Hawaiʻi Intermediate Court of Appeals formally closed the chapter on an ongoing legal battle involving financial accountability.
The Appellate Court Ruling
In a formal order issued on October 27, 2026, Presiding Judge Clyde J. Wadsworth, alongside Associate Judges Sonja M.P. McCullen and Daniel M. Gluck, approved a joint stipulation to dismiss the appeal in Larsson v. The legal challenge stemmed from an appeal originating in the Circuit Court of the Third Circuit under case number 3CCV-23-0000148. According to the court documents, the underlying appeal had not yet been docketed when the parties filed their paperwork on August 7, 2026.
Under Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP) Rule 42(b), participating parties formally agreed to dismiss the entire matter with prejudice. The agreement stipulated that both sides would shoulder their respective attorneys’ fees and costs. Because the case file had not cleared the docketing threshold, the appellate panel processed the request under HRAP Rule 42(a), sealing the dismissal.
Parallel Federal Proceedings
While the state-level appellate docket reached its conclusion, related federal proceedings moved through a parallel track earlier in the year. According to docket records detailed by PacerMonitor.com, plaintiffs Robert Larsson and 808 Consultant LLC initiated an adversary proceeding under case number 1:26-ap-90015. Filed in June 2026, the complaint sought a judicial determination regarding the dischargeability of specific debts, targeting Hawaiʻi Mold and Flood, LLC and Glen Kelsey under Sections 523(a)(2)(A) and (a)(6) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which cover allegations of actual fraud, false representations, and willful injury.
Court schedules show that the federal litigation saw active engagement before resolving. Following initial scheduling conferences held in August 2026, legal counsel for both parties—including Johnathan Christiaan Bolton representing the plaintiffs, Christopher J. Muzzi for Hawaiʻi Mold and Flood, LLC, and Allison A. Ito for Glen Kelsey—worked toward a private settlement. By August 19, 2026, a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice was filed in the bankruptcy court, successfully closing the adversary proceeding and bringing an end to the multi-front legal contest.
