ORDER ACCEPTING AFFIDAVIT IN LIEU OF ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE EVIDENCING LICENSE TO PRACTICE LAW IN THIS STATE
Upon consideration of Petitioner Sheree Michelle Fisher's Affidavit Re Order Granting Petition to Resign and Surrender License, it appears that (1) on December 22, 2008, this court granted Petitioner Fisher's RSCH 1.10 petition to resign and surrender license; (2) the December 22, 2008 order provided, in part, that "Petitioner Fisher shall return her original license to practice law to the Clerk of this court forthwith [, and] [t]he Clerk shall retain the original license as part of this record;" and (3) Petitioner Fisher avers that, after a thorough and diligent search, she cannot find her original license to practice in the State of Hawai'i, and believes it has been destroyed. Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the supreme court's December 22, 2008 order in this case is modified to the extent that Petitioner Fisher's affidavit shall be deemed to satisfy the requirement that she submit to the Clerk the original certificate evidencing her license to practice law. If Petitioner Fisher finds the original certificate evidencing her license to practice law in this State, she shall immediately deposit the same with the Clerk of this court, and the Clerk shall thereupon retain the license as part of this record.
