CHARLES R. BROWN, Respondent.

(opc 02-165-7363) =

 

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

 

Upon consideration of the Disciplinary Board’s Report
and Reconmendation for the Disbarment of Charles R. Brown, the
exhibits thereto, the record, and Respondent Brown's lack of
objection thereto, it appears Respondent Brown committed multiple
violations of Rules 8.1(a) and 8.1(b) of the Havas" Rules of
Professional Conduct by his fall

 

misleading, and incomplete
answers to question number 10 and question nunber 37 in each of
seven Hawai'i bar examination applications, and by failing to
report to the Board of Examiners of the Hawai'i Supreme Court the
two false social security numbers, two false dates of birth,
arrest and conviction arising from July 1990 incident, and arrest
for criminal trespass arising from the Novenber 4, 1990 incident,
and failing to supplement Respondent Brown's Novenber 1997
application, May 1998 application, Novenber 1998 application,
June 1999 application, Novenber 1999 application, May 2000
application, and November 2000 application.

Tt further appears that Respondent Brown had a
dishonest or selfish motive. Respondent Brown concealed the

information to facilitate his admission to the practice of law.
There were multiple offenses, a pattern of misconduct, and a
refusal by Respondent Brown to acknowledge the wrongful nature of
his conduct.

It finally appears that Respondent Brown has been
suspended from the practice of law since March 28, 2006 and has
not been reinstated. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Charles R. Brown is disbarred
from the practice of law in this jurisdiction effective upon
entry of this order.

TT IS FURTHER ORDERED that in addition to any other
requirements for reinstatement imposed by our Rules, Respondent
Brown shall pay any costs of these proceedings as approved upon
timely submission of a bill of costs.

IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that Respondent Brown shall,
within ten (10) days after the date of this order, file with this
court an affidavit in full compliance with RSCH 2.16(4) .

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, October 4, 2007.
