ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

ORDER OF DISBARMENT
Moon, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, Duffy, and Recktenwald, JJ.)

 

(By:
Upon consideration of the Office of Disciplinary
Counsel's petition for issuance of reciprocal discipline notice
to Respondent Andrew S. Hartnett, pursuant to Rule 2.15(b) of the
Rules of the Suprene Court of the State of Hawai'i (RSCH), the
memorandum, affidavit, and exhibits thereto, the Affidavit of
Thomas F. Robertson Regarding Service of the August 5, 2009
Notice and Order, the exhibits thereto, Respondent Hartnett’s
Statement of Non-Objection, and the record, it appears that: (1)
on May 12, 2009, the Supreme Court of Kansas accepted Respondent
Hartnett’s voluntary surrender of his license to practice law in
Kansas and disbarred him; (2) RSCH 2.15(b) requires 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 Hartnett shows cause under
RSCH 2,15(c) as to why imposition of the same or substantially
equivalent discipline should not be imposed; (3) Respondent
Hartnett responded to our August 5, 2009 order and states that he
does not object to or otherwise oppose the petition filed in this
case; (4) the same discipline is warranted in this jurisdiction;
and (5) the same discipline in this jurisdiction is disbarment.
It further appears that Respondent Hartnett does not maintain 2
practice in the State of Hawai'i and that, notwithstanding RSCH
2.16(c), the disbarment should be effective inmediately.
‘Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent Andrew S. Haztnett
is disbarred effective upon the filing of this order.

IT 18 FURTHER ORDERED that Respondent Hartnett shall
pay all costs of this proceeding.

IT 18 FINALLY ORDERED that Respondent Hartnett shall
comply with the notice, affidavit, and record requirements of
sections (a), (b), (a), and (g) of RSCH 2.16.
