The Hawaii Supreme Court suspended attorney William E.H. Tagupa for six months from practicing law. He had willfully torn out pages from a library's documents for personal use, and had already been suspended by the U.S. District Court for Hawaii for mutilation of the same "public property." The documents were owned by the Martin Pence Court Library. The State Court's ruling was a reciprocal discipline notice pursuant to RSCH Rule 2.15
