DISCIPLINARY BOARD OF THE HAWAI#I SUPREME COURT, Petitioner,
vs.
MICHAEL JOHN COLLINS, II, aka MICHAEL CHARLES COLLINS, aka MICHAEL JOHN COLLINS, aka MICHAEL JOHN COLLINS, XXVII (HI bar #9087), Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (ODC NO. 22-0051)
ORDER DISSOLVING ORDER OF SUSPENSION (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Wilson, and Eddins, JJ.)
Upon consideration of the December 29, 2022
declarations and exhibits submitted by Respondent Collins filed
with regard to his pending October 3, 2022 motion to dissolve
this court’s April 5, 2022 interim suspension of his law license,
imposed pursuant to Rule 2.23 of the Rules of the Supreme Court
of the State of Hawai#i (RSCH), the January 5, 2023 response from
the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC), the January 19, 2023
supplemental submission arranged by Respondent Collins, and the
record in this matter, we conclude that Respondent Collins has
made a good faith effort to comply with the terms of this court’s May 31, 2022 and November 28, 2022 orders, and, importantly, is
currently cooperative with ODC in regards to his conduct which
led to the instant interim suspension. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent Collins’s
October 3, 2022 motion to dissolve the April 5, 2022 interim
suspension is granted. The April 5, 2022 order of suspension is
dissolved, without prejudice to ODC returning to this court for
further relief if it deems appropriate to do so.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondent Collins shall not
return to the practice of law until he fulfills any and all
administrative requirements imposed by Rule 17(d) of the Rules of
the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai#i, administered by the
Hawai#i State Bar Association.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, January 30, 2023.
