In the Matter of Disciplinary Proceedings Against BRUCE J. Meagher, Attorney at Law:
Office of Lawyer Regulation, Complainant,
v.
Bruce J. Meagher, Respondent.
No. 03-1185-D.
Supreme Court of Wisconsin.
Decided June 9, 2004.
The Court entered the following order on this date:
Attorney Bruce Meagher has filed a petition seeking reinstatement of his license to practice law in Wisconsin. We determine, based on the referee's report, the *248 recommendation of the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR), and the recommendation of the Board of Bar Examiners (BBE), that Attorney Meagher's license to practice law in this state shall be reinstated effective immediately.
Attorney Meagher was admitted to practice in Wisconsin in 1980. On November 12, 2002, Attorney Meagher's license to practice law in Wisconsin was temporarily suspended, pursuant to SCR 22.20(1),[1] in connection with his conviction for violation of a federal wire wagering law. Attorney Meagher had no other disciplinary history. On October 8, 2003, this court approved the parties' stipulation to a six-month suspension of Attorney Meagher's license to practice law in Wisconsin. Disciplinary Proceedings Against Meagher, 2003 WI 132, 266 Wis. 2d 18, 669 N.W.2d 733. The suspension was imposed retroactive to the date of his temporary suspension, November 12, 2002. Id.
On October 17, 2003, Attorney Meagher filed this petition for reinstatement pursuant to SCR 22.28(3).[2] The petition was assigned to Referee John E. Shannon, Jr., consistent with the reinstatement procedure set *249 forth in SCR 22.30.[3] Following a hearing on April 19, 2004, the referee issued a report and recommendation on May 10, 2004, concluding that Attorney Meagher has satisfied his burden of proof on the question of reinstatement, has satisfactorily addressed all the requirements of SCR 22.29(4),[4] has demonstrated compliance with SCR 22.26, governing activities following suspension, and "can now be safely recommended to the *250 legal profession, the courts, and the public as a person fit to be consulted by others as well as represent them and otherwise act in matters of trust and confidence and in general to aid in the administration of justice as a member of the Bar and as an officer of the courts." The referee thus recommended the petition for reinstatement be granted. No appeal was filed.
By memorandum dated April 14, 2004, the BBE recommended that the reinstatement petition be granted, subject to the requirement that Attorney Meagher comply with the current continuing legal *251 education (CLE) requirements by reporting an additional 30.0 approved hours, including 3.0 hours of legal ethics and professional responsibility; or by electing the exemption available at SCR 31.04(2) on the CLE Form 1 that will be due for the 2003-2004 reporting period.
The court agrees with the referee's conclusion that reinstatement is appropriate here. Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that the petition for reinstatement is granted and the license of Attorney Bruce J. Meagher to practice law in Wisconsin is reinstated effective the date of this order, subject to his compliance with current CLE requirements;
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, subject to his right to appeal the statement of costs, Attorney Meagher shall pay the costs of the reinstatement procedure within 60 days of the date of this order.
