SCAD-XX-XXXXXXX
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI
In re Application for the Reinstatement of
RONALD G.S. AU
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(ODC No. 18-0345)
ORDER
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Wilson, and Eddins, JJ.)
Upon consideration of the April 13, 2021 submission
from the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) on behalf of the
Disciplinary Board of the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court, the declaration
from attorney Natalie A. Nishida, daughter of deceased Petitioner
Ronald G.S. Au, and the record in this matter, we note that
attorney Nishida and the Au family have indicated that neither
Nishida nor any other member of the family wishes to serve as
substitute party in this proceeding. We therefore conclude,
pursuant to Rule 43(a) of the Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate
Procedure, that no substitute party exists in this matter, and
that, in light of the passing of Petitioner Au, dismissal of this
matter is warranted. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this proceeding is dismissed.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, May 20, 2021.
