2024See Hawai‘i Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP) Rule 28(b)(7). 3 In Hungate, which also involved a nonjudicial foreclosure as here, the Hawai‘i Supreme Court held that because the power of sale clause in the mortgage required the bank to publish postponements of the foreclosure sale, the circuit court erroneously dismissed the plaintiff's claims that the foreclosure was wrongful for failure to publish postponements of the sale through a new notice. 139 Hawai‘i at 403-04, 391 P.3d at 10-11 . 2 NOT FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAIʻI REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER On April 3, 2014, the Curriers appe

2017Because the notice of sale expressly states that the sale “may be postponed from time to time by public announcement made by Mortgagee or someone acting on Mortgagee’s behalf,” Deutsche Bank and Rosen assert that oral postponement complied with the “terms specified in the notice of sale.” According to Deutsche Bank’s and Rosen’s analysis of the power of sale clause, only a single notice must be published, and not “a notice of sale for each postponed date.” (Emphasis added) (citing Lima v. Deutsche Bank Nat’I Trust Co., 943 F.Supp.2d 1093, 1101 (D.
