Haw. Sup. Ct. Order Rescinding Statewide Administrative Orders (June 9, 2010)

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI‘I

IN THE MATTER OF STATEWIDE COURT ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS AND MEMORANDA

ORDER RESCINDING STATEWIDE COURT ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS AND MEMORANDA

It appears that previously approved statewide court administrative orders or memoranda include requirements that are more appropriate for court rules than for administrative orders and memoranda and that revised administrative orders and memoranda have not been submitted for my review, as instructed by my May 24, 2007 memorandum to the Chief Judges. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, pursuant to Article VI, § 6 of the Hawai‘i Constitution and effective immediately upon filing of this order, that all previously approved statewide circuit, family, and district court administrative orders or memoranda are hereby rescinded.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Administrative Director shall cause any such administrative orders or memoranda published on the Judiciary’s web page(s) to be removed therefrom and shall not permit posting of any administrative order or memorandum unless approved by the Chief Justice.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai‘i, June 9, 2010.

Chief Justice
