Opinion
Electronically Filed Supreme Court SCPR-XX-XXXXXXX 18-FEB-2020 12:34 PM SCPR-XX-XXXXXXX
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
IN RE WEY-WEY ELAINE KWOK, Petitioner.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
ORDER GRANTING PETITION (By Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, McKenna, Pollack, and Wilson JJ.)
Upon consideration of the petition to resign and
surrender her license to practice law in the State of Hawai#i,
filed by Wey-Wey Elaine Kwok, pursuant to Rule 1.10 of the Rules
of the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai#i (RSCH), and the
affidavits submitted in support thereof, it appears that
Petitioner Kwok has not registered with the Hawai#i State Bar
Association (HSBA) for 2020 but it also appears that Petitioner
Kwok requested the materials in support of the petition in 2019,
and that extenuating circumstances exist that demonstrate the
untimely nature of her petition is due to circumstances beyond
her control. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition is granted.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to RSCH Rule 1.10(g),
that the Petitioner shall comply with the notice, affidavit, and record requirements of RSCH Rules 2.16(a), (b), (d), and (g).
IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that the Clerk shall remove the
name of Petitioner Wey-Wey Elaine Kwok, attorney number 6790,
from the roll of attorneys of the State of Hawai#i, effective
with the filing of this order.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, February 18, 2020.
