ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT
(By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, and McKenna, JJ.,
Circuit Judge To'oto'o, in place of Pollack, J., recused, and Circuit Judge Nakasone, in place of Wilson, J., recused)
Upon consideration of the July 7, 2016 affidavit
submitted by Respondent André S. Wooten, the exhibits attached
thereto, Respondent Wooten’s supplemental July 12, 2016
submission to this court, the July 14, 2016 submission from the
Office of Disciplinary Counsel, the July 20, 2016 order of this
court, Respondent Wooten’s July 21 and July 27, 2016 submissions,
and the record, it appears Respondent Wooten has complied with
the requirements of Rule 2.16 of the Rules of the Supreme Court
of the State of Hawai'i (RSCH) and the requirements of the December 11, 2015 order imposing upon him a six-month suspension
from the practice of law. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, pursuant to RSCH Rule
2.17(b), Respondent Wooten is reinstated to the practice of law
in this jurisdiction, effective upon entry of this order.
Respondent Wooten is admonished, however, that he must continue
to cooperate in successfully implementing the recommended
improvements to his practice set forth in the report by the
Practicing Attorneys Liability Management Society in order to
avoid possible additional discipline.
