IN RE: DISCIPLINE OF Krista N. ALBREGTS (2020)

ORDER

This is a petition under SCR 111(4) concerning attorney Krista N. Albregts, based on a conviction for resisting a public officer, a misdemeanor. Albregts self-reported the conviction to the State Bar as required by SCR 111(2). Because the conviction is not for a “serious crime” as defined in SCR 111(6), temporary suspension and referral for disciplinary proceedings are not mandatory. SCR 111(7), (8). Albregts' offense of resisting a public officer in the context of a traffic stop ¹ is minor and not the type for which professional discipline is typically imposed. Accordingly, having considered the petition and supporting documentation, we conclude that Albregts' offense does not warrant the imposition of a temporary suspension or referral to a disciplinary panel at this time. SCR 111(9).

It is so ORDERED.²

FOOTNOTES

1.   The charge for disregarding a stop sign was dismissed, and Albregts paid the fine imposed for the resisting offense.

2.   This constitutes our final disposition of this matter. Any further disciplinary matter involving Albregts shall be docketed as a new matter.
