Resignation declined
This court, having considered the request, declines to accept the voluntary resignation with charges pending of KAINE WEN, State Bar Number 255420, as a member of the State Bar of California. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 9.21(d).) KAINE WEN remains on inactive status. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 9.21(a).) He may move the State Bar Court to be restored to active status, at which time the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel may demonstrate any basis for his continued ineligibility to practice law. The State Bar Court will expedite the resolution of any request by KAINE WEN to be restored to active status. Any return to active status will be conditioned on KAINE WEN's payment of any dues, penalty payments, and restitution owed by him. The underlying disciplinary matter should proceed promptly.
