Upon review of the December 15, 2020 petition filed by
the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) on behalf of, and with

the State of Hawai#i, requesting this court to immediately
transfer Respondent Roy M. Yoshino to inactive status, pursuant
to Rules 2.19 (b) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the State

warranted. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent Roy M. Yoshino is
immediately transferred to inactive status in this jurisdiction,
pursuant to RSCH Rules 2.19(b) and 2.19(c), effective with the
filing of this order. Respondent Yoshino shall remain on
inactive status until further order of this court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that ODC shall suspend and hold
in abeyance proceedings against Respondent Yoshino to the extent
required by RSCH Rule 2.19(h).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Disciplinary Board
shall, pursuant to RSCH Rule 2.19(d), cause a notice of this
transfer to inactive status to be published in a newspaper of
general circulation in the judicial circuit in which Respondent
Yoshino maintained his practice.
IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that the clerk of the court,
pursuant to RSCH Rule 2.19(e), shall transmit a certified copy of
this order to all judges of the State of Hawai#i and shall
request their assistance and such action as may be indicated,
pursuant to RSCH Rule 2.20, to protect the interests of both
Respondent Yoshino and his clients, if any.
