The Court entered the following order on this date:
Attorney Milton
D. Schierland has filed a petition for consensual license revocation under SCR
22.19. His Wisconsin law license was
suspended on August 2, 2004 based on a United States District Court criminal
conviction for filing a false tax return, in violation of Title 26, United
States Code § 7206(1).
Attorney
Schierland submits under SCR 22.19(2) that he cannot successfully defend
against the misconduct allegations, which include the Office of Lawyer
Regulation’s (OLR) assertion that his conviction establishes conduct that
reflects adversely on his honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer in
other respects, contrary to SCR 20:8.4(b).
The OLR supports
Attorney Schierland’s petition for consensual license revocation.
IT IS ORDERED
that the petition for consensual license revocation is granted.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the license of Milton D. Schierland to practice law in Wisconsin is revoked effective the date of this order.
IT IS FURTHER
ORDERED that Milton D. Schierland shall comply with the requirements of SCR
22.26 relating to activities following revocation.
