IN RE: Earle A. PARTINGTON (2018)

MEMORANDUM **

Attorney Earle A. Partington appeals pro se from the district court's order of reciprocal suspension stemming from a suspension imposed by the Hawaii Supreme Court. We must independently review our own jurisdiction. Bova v. City of Medford, 564 F.3d 1093, 1095 (9th Cir. 2009).

Because Partington's suspension period has elapsed and he has been reinstated to practice before the district court, we cannot grant the relief Partington requests and we dismiss the appeal as moot. See Am. Cas. Co. of Reading, Pa. v. Baker, 22 F.3d 880, 896 (9th Cir. 1994) (a case is moot when there is no longer a present controversy as to which effective relief can be granted).

DISMISSED.
