SCAD-XX-XXXXXXX

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAIʻI

OFFICE OF DISCIPLINARY COUNSEL, Petitioner,

vs.

FREDERICK JOHN ARENSMEYER, Respondent.

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING (ODC Case No. DB 20-9002)

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

Upon consideration of the March 9, 2021 report,

submitted by the Disciplinary Board of the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court

and the declarations and exhibits appended thereto, and the

arguments of both Respondent Frederick J. Arensmeyer and the

Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) presented in the briefs, and

after a de novo review of the record, we find the record does not

establish, by clear and convincing evidence, that Respondent

Arensmeyer, through his initial responses to ODC’s inquiries into

allegations of misconduct committed by a different attorney,

knowingly created a misapprehension on ODC’s part that hindered ODC’s investigations or that Respondent Arensmeyer otherwise

failed to cooperate in ODC’s investigation. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the disciplinary proceeding

is dismissed with prejudice.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, June 23, 2021.
