The Court entered the following order on this date: 
 
Attorney Milton D. Schierland has filed a petition for 
consensual license revocation under SCR 22.19.  His Wisconsin 
law license was suspended on August 2, 2004 based on a United 
States District Court criminal conviction for filing a false tax 
return, in violation of Title 26, United States Code § 7206(1). 
  
Attorney Schierland submits under SCR 22.19(2) that he 
cannot successfully defend against the misconduct allegations, 
which include the Office of Lawyer Regulation’s (OLR) assertion 
that his conviction establishes conduct that reflects adversely 
on his honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer in other 
respects, contrary to SCR 20:8.4(b).   
 
The 
OLR 
supports 
Attorney 
Schierland’s 
petition 
for 
consensual license revocation.   
 
No. 04-2487-D

IT IS ORDERED that the petition for consensual license 
revocation is granted.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Milton D. Schierland shall 
comply with the requirements of SCR 22.26 relating to activities 
following revocation.
