IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI
OFFICE OF DISCIPLINARY COUNSEL,
Petitioner,
vs.
EARLE A. PARTINGTON (HI Bar No. 1568),
Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(ODC Case No. 19-0297)
ORDER DENYING REINSTATEMENT
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, and McKenna, JJ.,
Intermediate Court of Appeals Chief Judge Ginoza,
in place of Wilson, J., recused, and Intermediate Court of
Appeals Associate Judge Leonard, assigned by reason of vacancy)
Upon consideration of Respondent Earle A. Partington’s
July 30, 2021 declaration and the record in this matter, it
appears that Respondent Partington’s declaration does not comply
with Rule 2.17(b)(2) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the
State of Hawaiʻi (RSCH) (to wit, that an attorney suspended for
one year of less aver, for the period of suspension, that the
attorney “has complied with the suspension order . . . .”).
Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent Partington’s
reinstatement is denied, without prejudice to the filing of an
affidavit, or a declaration as authorized by Rule 52 of the
Hawaiʻi Rules of Appellate Procedure, complying with RSCH Rule
2.17(b)(2).
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, August 3, 2021.
