           IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI'I

                  OFFICE OF DISCIPLINARY COUNSEL,

                            Petitioner,

                                vs.

                      MICHAEL G.M. OSTENDORP,

                            Respondent.

                        ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

                    (ODC CASE NO. 10-057-8891)

                       ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT

(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson, JJ.)

           Upon consideration of the December 23, 2016 petition

and affidavit submitted by Respondent Michael G.M. Ostendorp and

the record, it appears Respondent Ostendorp has complied with all

relevant requirements upon which his six-month period of

suspension from the practice of law is contingent, and has

complied with the requirements of Rule 2.16 of the Rules of the

Supreme Court of the State of Hawai'i (RSCH), though we note

Respondent Ostendorp still must complete an audit of his practice

as provided in this court’s May 3, 2016 order.    It further

appears the Office of Disciplinary Counsel was served notice of

the affidavit, as required by RSCH Rule 2.17(b).   Therefore,

          IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, pursuant to RSCH Rule

2.17(b), Respondent Ostendorp is reinstated to the practice of

law in the jurisdiction of the State of Hawai'i, effective upon

entry of this order.

          DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, January 17, 2017.
