                ORDER OF TRANSFER TO INACTIVE STATUS
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Wilson, and Eddins, JJ.)

           Upon review of the October 14, 2021 petition filed by

 the Office of Disciplinary Counsel on behalf of, and with the

 approval of, the Disciplinary Board of the Hawai#i Supreme Court,

 requesting this court to transfer Respondent Roy M. Kodani to

 inactive status, pursuant to Rules 2.19(b) and 2.19(c) of the

 Rules of the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai#i (RSCH), we

 conclude transfer to inactive status is warranted.   Therefore,

           IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent Roy M. Kodani is

 transferred to inactive status in this jurisdiction, pursuant to

 RSCH Rules 2.19(b) and 2.19(c), effective with the filing of this
order.   Respondent Kodani shall remain on inactive status until

further order of this court.

           IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that ODC shall suspend and hold

in abeyance proceedings against Respondent Kodani to the extent

required by RSCH Rule 2.19(h).

           IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Disciplinary Board

shall, pursuant to RSCH Rule 2.19(d) (2021), cause a notice of

this transfer to inactive status to be published.

           IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that the clerk of the court,

pursuant to RSCH Rule 2.19(e), shall transmit a certified copy of

this order to all judges of the State of Hawai#i and shall

request their assistance and such action as may be indicated,

pursuant to RSCH Rule 2.20, to protect the interests of both

Respondent Kodani and his clients, if any.

           DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, November 1, 2021.
