    OFFICE OF DISCIPLINARY COUNSEL, Petitioner,
    vs.
    RONALD G.S. AU, Respondent.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    IN RE APPLICATION FOR REINSTATEMENT OF RONALD G.S. AU,
    Petitioner.
    (ODC 95-242-4701, ODC 97-213-5407, 98-064-5555)
    ORDER DENYING RECONSIDERATION
    (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, J.,
    Circuit Judge Crandall in place of Acoba, J., recused,
    Circuit Judge Trader in place of Duffy, J., recused,
    and Circuit Judge McKenna, assigned by reason of vacancy)
    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.
    DATED: Honolulu, Hawai#i, February 22, 2011.
