STATE OF WISCONSIN — SUPREME COURT

O'Neil to practice law in Wisconsin be granted, having concluded that the petitioner demonstrated by clear [15]*15and convincing evidence, pursuant to SCR 22.28, that he has the requisite character to practice law in Wisconsin and that his resumption of practice will not be detrimental to the integrity and standing of the bar, the administration of justice, or the public interest.

In re Disciplinary Proceedings Against O'Neil, 197 Wis. 2d 224, 539 N.W.2d 881 (1995).

By memorandum of November 27,1996, the Board of Bar Examiners recommended that the reinstatement petition be granted, having determined that the petitioner has completed the continuing legal education requirements established for reinstatement.

It Is Ordered that the petition is granted and, effective the date of this order, the license of James P. O'Neil to practice law in Wisconsin is reinstated.
