AND:

TAEMAKA TEKAMANTOA
Respondent

Appellant (No appearance)
Respondent in person

JUDGMENT

The appellant has been served with a notice of hearing but makes no appearance, nor has any communication been received from him.

His case appears hopeless in any event. He has filed an appeal 30 years out of time with no reasonable excuse for the inordinate delay.

The appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
