CHUN, Respondent.
Upon consideration of the Office of Disciplinary Counsel's ex parte petition for issuance of reciprocal discipline notice to Respondent Terrie Chun, pursuant to Rule 2.15(b) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai'i (RSCH), the memorandum, affidavits, and exhibits thereto, and the record, it appears that: (1) on April 15, 2008, the Supreme Court of California suspended Respondent Chun for two years for her violation of Rule 3-110(A) (failing to act competently) of the California Rules of Professional Conduct; (2) RSCH 2.15(b) requires issuance of notice and entry of an order imposing the same or substantially equivalent discipline, or restrictions or conditions upon the attorney's license to practice law in the State of Hawai'i, unless Respondent Chun shall show cause under RSCH 2.15(c) as to why imposition of the same or substantially equivalent discipline should not be imposed; (3) Respondent Chun did not respond to our September 15, 2008 notice and order to show cause; and (4) a similar discipline in this jurisdiction is suspension for two years. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent Terrie Chun is suspended in the State of Hawai'i for two years. Notwithstanding RSCH 2.16(c), Respondent Chun's suspension is effective upon entry of this order.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondent Chun's reinstatement in the State of Hawai'i is conditioned (1) upon payment of all costs of this proceeding, and (2) compliance with the conditions imposed by the Supreme Court of California.
