Upon review of the December 15, 2020 petition filed by

the State of Hawai#i, requesting this court to immediately
transfer Respondent Roy M. Yoshino to inactive status, pursuant

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that ODC shall suspend and hold
in abeyance proceedings against Respondent Yoshino to the extent
required by RSCH Rule 2.19(h).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Disciplinary Board
shall, pursuant to RSCH Rule 2.19(d), cause a notice of this
transfer to inactive status to be published in a newspaper of
general circulation in the judicial circuit in which Respondent
Yoshino maintained his practice.
IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that the clerk of the court,
pursuant to RSCH Rule 2.19(e), shall transmit a certified copy of
this order to all judges of the State of Hawai#i and shall
request their assistance and such action as may be indicated,
pursuant to RSCH Rule 2.20, to protect the interests of both
Respondent Yoshino and his clients, if any.
