allegations  concerning  his  misappropriation  and  conversion
of  funds  belonging  to  clients  and  to  the  law  firm  with
which  he  practiced.    The  petition  also  set  forth  that  as  a

guilty   to   three   counts   of   knowingly   and   intentionally
devising  and  executing  a  scheme  to  defraud  others  through
the  U.S.  mail,  for  which  he  was  sentenced  to  five  years  in
prison  on  each  count,  concurrent,  three  years  of  supervised
release,                                                                500   hours  of  community  service,  restitution  of
$2.75  million  to  his  former  law  firm,  which  repaid  all  of
his  victims,  and  a  $250,000  forfeiture.
Attorney  Moskal  was  admitted  to  the  Wisconsin  bar  in  1987.
He  practiced  in  Minneapolis,  Minnesota.
The  Board  of  Attorneys  Professional  Responsibility  filed  a
report  recommending  that  the  petition  for  revocation  be
granted.
IT  IS  ORDERED  that  the  petition  is  granted  and  the  license
of  David  J.  Moskal  to  practice  law  in  Wisconsin  is  revoked
by  consent,  pursuant  to  SCR  21.10(1),  effective  the  date  of
this  order.
IT  IS  FURTHER  ORDERED  that  David  J.  Moskal  comply  with  the
provisions  of  SCR                                                     22.26  concerning  the  duties  of  a  person
whose   license   to   practice   law   in   Wisconsin   has   been
