In the Matter of Medical Incapacity Proceedings Against Laura L. Waite, Attorney at Law:

Office of Lawyer Regulation, FILED Complainant, APR 27, 2021 v. Sheila T. Reiff Clerk of Supreme Court Laura L. Waite,

Respondent.

The Court entered the following order on this date:

On March 15, 2021, Attorney Laura Waite filed a request pursuant to SCR 22.34(11), for indefinite suspension of her license to practice law in this state due to her medical incapacity. The Office of Lawyer Regulation filed a response supporting that request and a summary of its investigation into the medical incapacity allegations against Attorney Waite. Attorney Waite acknowledges that she cannot successfully defend herself against the medical incapacity allegations. Based upon these considerations,

IT IS ORDERED that the request is granted and, effective the date of this order, Attorney Laura Waite's license to practice law in this state is indefinitely suspended.
