NOTICE OF MOTION
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Clyde J. Wadsworth of the Department of the
Attorney General of the State of Hawaii, 425 Queen Street, Honolulu, Hawaii
96813, shall and hereby does respectfully seek leave of this Court, pursuant to Local

R. 11-5(a) and in compliance with Cal. R. Prof. Conduct 3-700, to withdraw as counsel for
Plaintiff State of Hawaii.
MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL
Pursuant to Local R. 11-5, Clyde J. Wadsworth (Movant) hereby notifies the parties and
the Court of his intent to withdraw as counsel for Plaintiff State of Hawaii. Movant offers the
following grounds for this notice and motion:
1.

Movant was previously admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the

Northern District of California on June 13, 1985.
2.

Movant has represented the State of Hawaii as part of his employment with the

Department of the Attorney General. Movant has been appointed to serve as a judge of the
Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals and, shortly, will no longer be employed as an attorney
with the Department.
3.

Robert T. Nakatsuji, Deputy Solicitor General, was admitted to practice pro hac

vice in this action on September 5, 2019. Mr. Nakatsuji also represents the State of Hawaii and
will continue to do so.
4.

Movant’s withdrawal will not cause any prejudice or delay in this case. All parties

have counsel actively representing them, and none will require any additional time to review or
acclimate to the absence of Movant as counsel for the State of Hawaii.
5.

Given the insubstantial nature of this Motion, as well as the substantial burden to

all parties in traveling and attending a hearing on this Motion, Movant respectfully requests that
the Court waive oral argument

6.

THEREFORE, Movant Clyde J. Wadsworth respectfully requests that this Court

waive oral argument on this Motion, grant him leave to withdraw as counsel in the abovecaptioned matter, and enter an order stating that Movant has so withdrawn.
Dated: Honolulu, Hawaii, October 10, 2019.
