SCAD-10-0000226 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I OFFICE OF DISCIPLINARY COUNSEL, Petitioner, vs. JANET CLARE MILLER, Respondent. ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (ODC 10-006-8840) ORDER OF SUSPENSION (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba and Duffy, JJ., and Intermediate Court of Appeals Chief Judge Nakamura, assigned by reason of vacancy) Upon consideration of the Office of Disciplinary Counsel’s Petition for Issuance of Reciprocal Discipline Notice, our January 3, 2011 Notice and Order, Respondent Janet Clare Miller’s response to the petition, Disciplinary Counsel’s reply, and the record, it appears Respondent Miller was suspended from practice for one year by the Supreme Court of California by order filed August 4, 2009, and that enforcement of the California suspension order was suspended for two years subject to conditions that include a requirement that she take and pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam within one year. It further appears Hawai#i rules do not permit suspension of suspension orders and the substantially equivalent discipline in this jurisdiction is a suspension for one year, subject to fulfillment of the conditions imposed by the Supreme Court of Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCAD-10-0000226 09-MAR-2011 09:23 AM California. It further appears that Respondent Miller does not maintain a practice in this jurisdiction and delaying the effective date of this order for thirty days, as provided by Rule 2.16(c) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai#i would serve no purpose. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent Miller is suspended from practice in this jurisdiction for one year, effective upon entry of this order. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, as a condition of her reinstatement, Respondent Miller must prove compliance with all of the conditions imposed by the California Supreme Court. DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, March 9, 2011. /s/ Mark E. Recktenwald /s/ Paula A. Nakayama /s/ Simeon R. Acoba, Jr. /s/ James E. Duffy, Jr. /s/ Craig H. Nakamura 2
