IN RE BARBARA JEAN WONG,
ALSO KNOWN AS BARBARA UPHOUSE WONG,
Petitioner.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
ORDER GRANTING PETITION TO RESIGN IN GOOD STANDING
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Wilson, and Eddins, JJ.)
Upon consideration of the petition to resign from the
practice law in the State of Hawai#i, filed by attorney
Barbara Uphouse Wong,1 pursuant to Rule 1.10 of the Rules of the
Supreme Court of the State of Hawai#i (RSCH), but to retain the
paper license as a memento, as authorized by RSCH Rule 1.10(b),
and the affidavits submitted in support thereof, we conclude that
Petitioner Wong has fully complied with the requirements of
RSCH Rule 1.10. Therefore,
1
We note that, according to materials in the record at Docket
1:5-6, attorney Wong changed her name on February 17, 2016 to Barbara
Uphouse Wong, from other iterations of her name, including Barbara
Jean Wong, the name employed in the caption. Barbara Uphouse Wong is
the name which appears on her license to practice law, so we grant the
petition using that name.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition to resign is
granted. Petitioner Wong may retain the paper license as a
memento.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to RSCH Rule 1.10(g),
that the Petitioner shall comply with the notice, affidavit, and
record requirements of RSCH Rules 2.16(a), (b), (d), and (g).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall remove the
name of Petitioner Wong, attorney number 8004, from the roll of
attorneys of the State of Hawai#i, effective with the filing of
this order.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, October 27, 2022.
