RECIPROCAL SUSPENSION ORDER
(By: Moon, C.J., Levinson, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, JJ.)

Upon consideration of the Office of Disciplinary

Counsel's ex parte petition for issuance of reciprocal dis

 

notice to Respondent Terrie Chun, pursuant to Rule 2.15(b) of the
Rules of the Suprene Court of the State of Hawai'i (RSCH), the
memorandun, affidavits, and exhibits thereto, and the record, it
appears that: (1) on April 15, 2008, the Supreme Court of
California suspended Respondent Chun for two years for her
violation of Rule 3+-110(R) (failing to act competently) of the
California Rules of Professional Conduct? (2) RSCH 2.15(b)
requires issuance of notice and entry of an order imposing the
same or substantially equivalent discipline, or restrictions or
conditions upon the attorney's license to practice law in the
State of Hawai'i, unless Respondent Chun shall show cause under
RSCH 2.15(c) as to why imposition of the same or substantially
equivalent discipline should not be imposed; (3) Respondent Chun
did not respond to our Septenber 15, 2008 notice and order to
show cause; and (4) a similar discipline in this jurisdiction is

suspension for two years. Therefore,
