Cornelia G. Clark 
Clerk of Supreme Court 
Madison, WI 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Court entered the following order on this date: 
 
On February 20, 2006, the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) 
filed a petition, pursuant to SCR 22.34, for the indefinite 
suspension of Attorney Charity A. Reynolds’ (n/k/a Charity 
Harris) license to practice law in this state.  On April 10, 
2006, the OLR and Attorney Reynolds filed a stipulation that 
Attorney Reynolds currently suffers from a medical incapacity 
that substantially prevents her from performing the duties of an 
attorney to acceptable professional standards.  The stipulation 
states that Attorney Reynolds is aware that she has the right to 
seek the advice of counsel in this matter and that she has 
reviewed all of the applicable supreme court rules.  The 
stipulation also states that Attorney Reynolds is entering into 
the stipulation freely, voluntarily, and knowingly, and that the 
stipulation is not the result of a plea bargain.  Based on the 
parties’ stipulation, which the court adopts, the court finds 
that 
Attorney 
Reynolds 
currently 
suffers 
from 
a 
medical

incapacity that substantially prevents her from performing the 
duties of an attorney to acceptable professional standards. 
IT IS ORDERED that the petition is granted and Attorney 
Charity A. Reynolds’ (n/k/a Charity A. Harris) license to 
practice law in the state of Wisconsin is suspended indefinitely 
as of the date of this order and until reinstated by this court.  
To the extent that she has not already done so, Attorney 
Reynolds shall further comply with the requirements of SCR 22.26 
relating to license suspension.
