FILED
Office  of  Lawyer  Regulation,
Complainant,                                                                NOV  11,  2005
v.                                                                          Cornelia G. Clark
Clerk of Supreme Court
Madison, WI
Daniel  Ensley,
Respondent.
The  Court  entered  the  following  order  on  this  date:
The  Office  of  Lawyer  Regulation                                         (OLR)  and  Attorney  Daniel
Ensley  entered  into  a  comprehensive  stipulation,  pursuant  to  SCR
22.34(1),  requesting  that  this  court  issue  an  order  indefinitely
suspending  Attorney  Ensley’s  license  to  practice  law,  without  an
assessment  of  costs,  due  to  medical  incapacity.
                                                                                                           Attorney  Ensley  was  admitted  to  practice  law  in           1978.     On
April                                                                       15,                            2004,  Attorney  Ensley’s  status  with  the  State  Bar
                                                                                                           changed   from   active   to   inactive   and,   on   November   1,             2004,
Attorney   Ensley’s   Wisconsin   law   license   was   administratively
suspended   for   failure   to   pay   mandatory   dues   and   remains
suspended.
Pursuant   to   the   stipulation,   Attorney   Ensley   submitted
evidence  of  his  medical  incapacity,  described  by  the  Department
of  Veteran’s  Affairs  to  be  100%  disabling,  which  he  acknowledges




No.                                                                           2005AP2109-D
substantially   prevents   him   from   performing   his   duties   to
acceptable  professional  standards.     Attorney  Ensley  stipulated
that  he  failed  to  abide  by  Supreme  Court  rules  in  a  number  of
matters   and,   due   to   his   medical   incapacity,   was   unable   to
conform  his  conduct  to  law.    The  stipulation  provides  that  other
attorneys  acting  on  Attorney  Ensley’s  behalf  have  corrected  his
errors  and  omissions,  and  all  monies  allegedly  due  clients  and
courts  have  been  paid.      The  stipulation  further  states  that
Attorney  Ensley,  represented  by  counsel,  entered  into  it  freely,
voluntarily  and  knowingly.
IT  IS  ORDERED  that  this  court  accept  the  stipulation  of  the
parties  and,  effective  the  date  of  this  order  and  until  further
order  of  the  court,  Attorney  Daniel  Ensley’s  license  to  practice
law   in   Wisconsin   is   indefinitely   suspended,   without   the
imposition  of  costs.
