1 Appeal Dismissed in Larsson v. Hawaii Mold and Flood Case

Hawaiʻi Appellate Court Dismisses Dispute Involving Hawaiʻi Mold and Flood

Legal battles between 808 Consultant LLC and Hawai i Mold and Flood, LLC have concluded with the dismissal of an appeal. The Intermediate Court of Appeals of the State of Hawaiʻi officially dismissed an appeal involving Robert Larsson, 808 Consultant LLC, Hawaiʻi Mold and Flood, LLC, and Glen Kelsey, according to court documents filed on October 27, 2026.

The dismissal, docketed under CAAP-26-0000053, stems from a stipulation for dismissal filed by Hawaiʻi Mold and Flood, LLC on August 7, 2026. Presiding Judge Clyde J. Wadsworth, alongside Associate Judges Sonja M.P.

Inside the Court’s Decision to Terminate the Appeal

Under Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate Procedure (HRAP) Rule 42(b), parties are permitted to stipulate to the dismissal of an appeal with prejudice, meaning the underlying claims cannot be brought back to court. Because the appeal had not yet been formally docketed, the panel noted that dismissal was equally authorized under HRAP Rule 42(a).

The appellate order confirms that counsel for all appearing parties signed the August stipulation. As part of the resolution, both sides agreed to bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs, effectively ending the litigation at the state appellate level without a contested ruling on the merits.

The Underlying Federal Bankruptcy Adversary Proceeding

Before reaching the state appellate docket, the core dispute played out in federal court. According to records detailed by PacerMonitor, Robert Larsson and 808 Consultant LLC initiated an adversary proceeding under case number 1:26-ap-90015.

Filed in early June 2026, the amended complaint sought a judicial determination regarding the dischargeability of a debt pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 523(a)(2)(A) and (a)(6). The plaintiffs alleged actual fraud, false pretenses, and false representations against Hawaiʻi Mold and Flood, LLC and Glen Kelsey.

However, court logs show that the parties quickly pivoted toward resolution. Following a scheduling conference held on August 7, 2026—with appearances by Johnathan Christiaan Bolton for the plaintiffs, Christopher J. Muzzi for Hawaiʻi Mold & Flood LLC, and Allison A. Ito for Glen Kelsey—the federal court noted that the parties were actively working toward a settlement.

By August 19, 2026, a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice of All Claims and All Parties was filed in the adversary proceeding. The federal bankruptcy court officially closed the adversary case the same day, clearing the path for the parallel state-level wrap-up formalized by the Intermediate Court of Appeals in late October.
