ORDER DENYING REQUEST TO END STAY
This case, which concerns the membership of Earle A.
Partington in this court’s bar, has been stayed pending the
resolution of disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Partington in
other jurisdictions.
Mr. Partington now moves for a dissolution
of this court’s stay and asks this court to rule on whether he
should be disciplined by this court.
It is the court’s understanding that the only remaining
disciplinary proceeding outside of Hawaii is in California.
This
court sees no reason to change the status of this case while the
California matter remains pending.
Mr. Partington has not, for
example, identified any client he would like to represent in this
court before the conclusion of the California matter.
To the
contrary, Mr. Partington has written a letter to this court
indicating that the reason he is now asking for a quick
resolution of this case is so that he may cite in the California
proceedings what he assumes will be a decision by this court that
will be favorable to him.
Without opining on what it will
ultimately rule on the merits of this case, this court does not
view the materials submitted as providing a basis for changing
the way this court has handled this case to date.
The stay remains in effect.
Mr. Partington is directed
to notify this court in writing of the final disposition of the
California proceeding.
That notification should be filed within
14 days of Mr. Partington’s receipt of that final disposition.
APPROVED AND SO ORDERED.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, January 25, 2017.
