Return To Sender
In Hawaii, when the Supreme Court orders an attorney to surrender their law license, they literally mean that you are supposed to return the original. Hence, the following order:
Upon consideration of J. Michael Dwyer’s June 1, 2009 Letter to LynFlanigan and Naomi Komenaka, it appears that Petitioner Dwyer statesthat he is unable to return his original license topractice law to the Clerk of this court, as required by our April 9,2009, order granting petition to resign and surrender license, becausehe may have lost the license. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall accept Petitioner Dwyer’sJune 1, 2009, letter in lieu of the original certificate evidencing hislicense to practice law in this State. If PetitionerDwyer finds the original certificate evidencing his license to practicelaw in this State, he shall immediately deposit the same with the Clerkof this court.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawai‘i, July 1, 2009.
