ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
(ope 06109-8449, 07-023-8473, 07-014-8474, 07-167-8627)

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

Upon consideration of the Disciplinary Board's Report
and Recommendation for the Disbarment of Jane E, Tate and
Respondent Tate's lack of objection thereto as exhibited by her
failure to file an answer to the Petition as permitted by Rule
2.7(c) of the Rules of the Suprene Court of the State of Havai'i
(RSCH) or to request briefing as permitted by RSCH 2.7(d), it
appears that Respondent Tate committed multiple violations of
Rules 1.1, 1.3, 1.4(a), 1.4(b), 1,15(a) (1), 1-15(e), 1-15(@),
1.15(£) (4), 2.16(a), 1-16(4), 3.2, 3.410), B.1la), 8.1(b),
8.4(a), 8.4(c), and 8.4(d) of the Hawai'i Rules of Professional
Conduct. It further appears that Respondent Tate has departed
from the State of Hawai'i, and making discipline effective thirty
(30) days after entry of this order, see RSCH 2.16(c), would be
pointless. See Office of Disciplinary Counsel v, DeMelle, 61
Haw. 223, 225, 601 P.2d 1087, 1088 (1979). Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent Jane E. Tate is

 

disbarred from the practice of law in this jurisdic

effective upon entry of this order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, as conditions for

 

 

reinstatement,
1. Respondent Tate shall pay restitution as follows:
a. $1,750.00 to Megan A. Uyehara:
b. $1,750.00 to Sherry L. Baus; and
$545.00 to Nalani K. A. Ttomura.
2, Respondent Tate shall pay the costs of these

proceedings as approved upon timely submission of a bill of
costs, and shall comply with the requirements of RSCH 2.16.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, September 2, 2008.
