The Court entered the following order on
this date:
|
|
On October 7, 2005, Attorney John A. Chavez
and the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR)
entered into a stipulation pursuant to SCR
22.34(1) requesting that this court enter
an order indefinitely suspending Attorney
Chavez's license to practice law in
Wisconsin, without an assessment of costs,
due to medical incapacity. Attorney Chavez
was admitted to practice in 1990. His
license to practice law was temporarily
suspended on November 17, 2004 for failure
to cooperate with an OLR grievance
investigation. It remains suspended. The
stipulation contains evidence of Attorney
Chavez's medical incapacity. It states
that Attorney Chavez is aware that he has
the right to seek the advice of counsel in
this matter and has voluntarily chosen not
to do so. The stipulation further states
that Attorney Chavez entered into the
stipulation freely, voluntarily and
knowingly and that the stipulation was not
the result of a plea bargain but instead
represents Attorney Chavez's admission of a
medical incapacity which has impeded his
ability to perform his profession to
acceptable professional standards;
IT IS ORDERED that this court accepts the
parties' stipulation and, effective the
date of this order and until further order
of the court, Attorney John A. Chavez's
license to practice law in Wisconsin is
indefinitely suspended, without the
imposition of costs. Attorney Chavez
shall comply with the requirements of SCR
22.26 relating to license suspension if he
has not already done so.
