Wisconsin Supreme Court
Civil
Professional Responsibility — suspension
Where attorney Katharine L. Taber received a one-year suspension in Arizona, reciprocal discipline is appropriate.
“Attorney Taber has not alleged to this court that any of the reasons set forth in SCR 22.22(3) are present in this matter and require the imposition of substantially different discipline. We also conclude that none of the three grounds set forth in SCR 22.22(3) are present here. We therefore impose the identical one-year period of suspension imposed by the Supreme Court of Arizona, although we do not make it retroactive since Attorney Taber’s license to practice law in Wisconsin was not previously temporarily suspended in connection with this matter, as her Arizona license had been. We further require Attorney Taber to comply with the probation and restitution obligations imposed by the Supreme Court of Arizona. Finally, because it has not been necessary to appoint a referee in this state, we do not impose the costs of this proceeding on Attorney Taber.”
Per curiam.
Attorneys: For Complainant: Hendrix, Jonathan E., Madison; For Respondent: Taber, Katharine L., Holbrook, AZ
