On March 11, 1988 the referee filed a report recommending that the petition of Stuart G.

IT IS ORDERED that the petition for revocation of license by consent is granted and the license of Stuart G. Grady to practice law in Wisconsin is revoked, effective April 18, 1988.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within 60 days of the date of this order Stuart G. Grady pay to the Board of Attorneys Professional Responsibility the costs of this disciplinary proceeding.
