SCAD-XX-XXXXXXX
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI
OFFICE OF DISCIPLINARY COUNSEL, Petitioner,
vs.
STEPHEN CARL WOODRUFF, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(ODC 13-003-9073)
ORDER
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, and Wilson, JJ.,
and Intermediate Court of Appeals Associate Judge Leonard,
assigned by reason of vacancy)
Upon consideration of the June 3, 2021 application for
reinstatement, filed by Respondent Stephen C. Woodruff, the
June 4, 2021 response filed by the Office of Disciplinary
Counsel, and the entire record in this matter, we find that,
despite Respondent Woodruff’s declaration to the contrary, he has
not complied with the terms of the October 11, 2016 disciplinary
order, which, inter alia, requires compliance with the duties
imposed by Rule 2.16 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the
State of Hawaiʻi (RSCH) upon all suspended or disbarred attorneys
and which required Respondent Woodruff to file an affidavit by
November 20, 2016 providing certain information, and averring
that he had fully complied with the duties imposed by that Rule.
Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent Woodruff’s
application is denied without prejudice to his submitting an
affidavit or declaration that fully complies with both the
requirements of RSCH Rule 2.17(b)(2) and provides the information
required by RSCH Rules 2.16(a), 2.16(b), and 2.16(c), as well as
any good cause for his failure to timely file the RSCH Rule
2.16(d) affidavit by the original November 20, 2016 deadline, set
by the October 11, 2016 order and by operation of RSCH Rule
2.16(d).
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, June 8, 2021.
