Attorney Jordan was licensed to practice law in Wisconsin in 1973 and practiced in Milwaukee county. In November, 1991, he was suspended from the practice of law for failure to pay assessments to the Board of Attorneys Professional Responsibility and the Board of Bar Examiners. He has not previously been the subject of an attorney disciplinary proceeding.
While the referee's report was pending, Attorney Jordan filed a petition for the revocation by consent of his license to practice law. In that petition, he stated that he could not successfully defend against the allegations of professional misconduct concerning which the referee made his findings and conclusions. Attorney Jordan also asked that, in the event the court accepted his petition, his appeal from the referee's report and recommendation be dismissed.
IT IS ORDERED that the revised petition for license revocation by consent pursuant to SCR 21.10 is granted and the license of Kim D. Jordan to practice law in Wisconsin is revoked, effective January 23, 1992.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the appeal of Kim D. Jordan in this proceeding is dismissed.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within 60 days of the date of this order Kim D. Jordan pay to the Board of Attorneys Professional Responsibility the costs of this disciplinary proceeding.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Kim D. Jordan comply with the provisions of SCR 22.26 concerning the duties of a person whose license to practice law in Wisconsin has been revoked.
