IN RE: Medical Incapacity Proceedings Against Attorney David Patton (2024)

The Court entered the following order on this date:

¶1 On January 29, 2024, Attorney David Patton filed a petition, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 22.34(11), for the indefinite suspension of his license to practice law in Wisconsin due to his medical incapacity. The Office of Lawyer Regulation filed a memorandum in support of the petition and an appendix, labelled Appendix A, filed under seal, summarizing the medical incapacity allegations being investigated.
