ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT
Upon consideration of the record and the Disciplinary Board's Report and Recommendation to Deny Melodie R. Aduja's Petition for Reinstatement to the Practice of Law, it appears contrary to the Disciplinary Board's Report and Recommendation, that Petitioner Aduja's violation of RSCH 2.16(h) while suspended was technical andde minimis and that she did not practice law while suspended. It further appears that Petitioner Aduja has proven, by clear and convincing evidence, rehabilitation, fitness to practice law, competence, compliance with all applicable disciplinary orders and rules, and compliance with other requirements imposed by the court, as required by Rule 2.17(b) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai'i. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner Melodie R. Aduja's Petition for Reinstatement is granted and Petitioner Aduja is reinstated to the practice of law in this jurisdiction.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that upon payment of all required dues and registration fees, the Clerk shall restore Petitioner Melodie R. Aduja to the roll of attorneys eligible to practice in the State of Hawai'i.
