In re Disciplinary Action Against Olson

Summary

The Minnesota Supreme Court revoked David Walter Olson’s conditional reinstatement after he failed to provide proof of successfully completing the Multi-state Professional Responsibility Examination. The court indefinitely suspended Olson, effective 10 days after filing of the order, and permitted him to seek reinstatement upon proof of passing the required professional-responsibility examination.

Holdings

1. A lawyer conditionally reinstated after a suspension of 90 days or less who fails to timely complete and provide proof of the required professional-responsibility examination may be automatically suspended, and the court may revoke the conditional reinstatement.
2. Olson's conditional reinstatement is revoked and he is indefinitely suspended, effective 10 days after filing of the order, pending his successful completion of the required professional-responsibility examination.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Olson's conditional reinstatement should be revoked after he failed to provide proof of successfully completing the required professional-responsibility examination.
