 February 5, 2013 order, and that his February 14, 2014 affidavit

 complies with Rule 2.17(b)(2) of the Rules of the Supreme Court

 of the State of Hawai#i (RSCH).    We note in particular Respondent

          IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition is granted.

          IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to RSCH Rule
