ORDER*
Kau Hui, a partnership formed to purchase and develop a parcel of land on the Island of Hawaii, appeals an order dismissing Chapter 11 proceedings filed by the partnership. The bankruptcy court was correct, however, in concluding that Kau Hui had not complied with Bankruptcy Rule 1004 which requires a general partnership to obtain the consent of all of its general partners prior to filing a Chapter 11 petition. Because Kau Hui did not register as a limited partnership with the State of Hawaii as required under Hawaii Revised Statutes Sec. 425-22, it must be assumed to be a general partnership. All of its partners are therefore general partners. Kau Hui did not obtain the consent of these partners to the petition and consequently did not comply with the requirements for bankruptcy jurisdiction.
