Steinberg v. Hoshijo: RECON

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI`I

---o0o---

DR. HAROLD STEINBERG, Appellant-Appellant v. WILLIAM D. HOSHIJO, Executive Director, Hawai`i Civil Rights Commission, Appellee-Appellee

NO. 21019

MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

(CIV. NO. 96-4865)

JULY 1, 1998

MOON, C.J., KLEIN, LEVINSON, NAKAYAMA, AND RAMIL, JJ.

Upon consideration of appellee-appellee's "Motion for Clarification of Standard of Review," filed on June 22, 1998, which this court deems as a motion for reconsideration, pursuant to Hawai`i Rules of Appellate Procedure Rule 40, and, having given due consideration to the arguments made and the issues raised therein,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion is denied on the ground that the standard of review set forth in Steinberg v. Hoshijo, No. 21019 (Haw. June 18, 1998), provides for de novo review, which, in Hawai`i, is conducted under the right/wrong test. See, e.g., Moss v. American Int'l Adjustment Co., Inc., 86 Hawai`i 59, 61, 947 P.2d 371, 373 (1997); State v. Wallace, 80 Hawai`i 382, 391, 910 P.2d 695, 704 (1996).

appellee-appellee,
