BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL 

RESPONSIBILITY, WYOMING 

STATE BAR,

Petitioner,

v.

NICHOLAS T. HADERLIE, WSB 

#7-4854,

Respondent.

D-15-0003

ORDER OF PUBLIC CENSURE

[¶1] This matter came before the Court upon a “Report and Recommendation for 

Public Censure,” filed herein June 23, 2015, by the Board of Professional Responsibility 

for the Wyoming State Bar, pursuant to Section 16 of the Disciplinary Code for the

Wyoming State Bar (stipulated discipline). See also Rule 26(f) of the Wyoming Rules of 

Disciplinary Procedure, effective July 1, 2015 (“These rules shall become effective July 

1, 2015, and any discipline or disability investigation pending on that date shall proceed 

under these rules. Any matter then pending with respect to which a formal charge has 

been filed shall be concluded under the procedure existing prior to the effective date of 

these rules.”). The Court, after a careful review of the Board of Professional 

Responsibility’s Report and Recommendation, and the file, finds that the Report and 

Recommendation should be approved, confirmed, and adopted by the Court, and that 

Respondent Nicholas T. Haderlie should be publicly censured for his conduct. It is, 

therefore,

[¶2] ADJUDGED AND ORDERED that the Board of Professional Responsibility’s 

Report and Recommendation for Public Censure, which is attached hereto and 

incorporated herein, shall be, and the same hereby is, approved, confirmed, and adopted 

by this Court, with one exception. This Court will not order Respondent to remain 
compliant with his monitoring agreement with the Wyoming Professional Assistance 

Program. While this Court certainly agrees Respondent should remain compliant, the 

Court does not believe it is the appropriate authority in this case to monitor such 

agreement; and it is further

[¶3] ADJUDGED AND ORDERED that Nicholas T. Haderlie is hereby publicly 

censured for his conduct, which is described in the Report and Recommendation for 

Public Censure. This public censure shall include issuance of a press release consistent 

with the one set out in the Report and Recommendation for Public Censure; and it is 

further

[¶4] ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 26 of the Disciplinary Code for the 

Wyoming State Bar, Mr. Haderlie shall reimburse the Wyoming State Bar the amount of 

$50.00, representing the costs incurred in handling this matter, as well as pay the 

administrative fee of $500.00. Mr. Haderlie shall pay the total amount of $550.00 to the 

Wyoming State Bar on or before August 31, 2015; and it is further

[¶5] ORDERED that the Clerk of this Court shall docket this Order of Public Censure, 

along with the incorporated Report and Recommendation for Public Censure, as a matter 

coming regularly before this Court as a public record; and it is further

[¶6] ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv) of the Disciplinary Code for the 

Wyoming State Bar, this Order of Public Censure, along with the incorporated Report 

and Recommendation for Public Censure, shall be published in the Wyoming Reporter 

and the Pacific Reporter; and it is further

[¶7] ORDERED that the Clerk of this Court cause a copy of this Order of Public 

Censure to be served upon Respondent Nicholas T. Haderlie.

[¶8] DATED this 2nd day of July, 2015.
