ORDER DENYING RECONSIDERATION
Upon consideration of Petitioner Ronald G.S. Au's motion for reconsideration of the Supreme Court's January 10, 2011 order denying Respondent Au's application for reinstatement, the memorandum, exhibits, and declaration in support thereof, and the record, it is clear that Respondent Au was not charged with unauthorized practice of law under HRS §§ 605-2 and 605-14, but was confronted with evidence he practiced while suspended, a violation of Rule 2.17(a) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai'i (RSCH), and could not therefore prove compliance with all applicable disciplinary orders and rules, as required by RSCH Rule 2.16. The record is replete with Respondent Au's arguments on the subject, contrary to his contentions on reconsideration about notice and opportunity to be heard. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion is denied.
