Description

The defendant-appellant Mervin Dudoit, Jr. appeals solely with regard to his sentence in connection with his conviction of two counts of abuse of a family or household member, in violation of Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 709-906 (Supp. 1997). *fn1 On appeal, Dudoit argues that the family court erred in sentencing him to a mandatory thirty-day jail term for the second count of the complaint, pursuant to the "repeat offender" provision of HRS § 709-906(5)(b), see supra note 1, because (1) the legislative history of HRS § 709-906(5) establishes that the legislature intended that the repeat offender provision apply only to offenses occurring after prior convictions of a violation of the statute, (2) the repeat offender provision cannot apply to offenses committed on the same day, and/or (3) the repeat offender provision cannot apply to offenses occurring within a short time of each other. We disagree with all of Dudoit's contentions. Accordingly, we affirm the family court's judgment, guilty conviction, and sentence.
