The Court entered the following order on this date: 
 
On May 23, 2003, Attorney Alan A. Olshan and the Office of 
Lawyer Regulation (OLR) entered into a stipulation requesting 
that this court enter an order formally imposing conditions on 
Attorney Olshan’s practice of law due to Attorney Olshan’s 
medical incapacity in order to assure that Attorney Olshan’s 
practice of law meets acceptable professional standards.  The 
stipulation states that Attorney Olshan, although proceeding pro 
se, was and is aware that he has the right to seek the advice of 
counsel in this matter and has voluntarily chosen not to do so.  
The stipulation further states that Attorney Olshan entered into 
it freely, voluntarily and knowingly and that the stipulation 
was not the result of a plea bargain but instead represents 
Attorney Olshan’s admission of a medical incapacity which has 
impacted his ability to perform his profession to acceptable 
professional standards; 
 
No. 03-1236-D

IT IS ORDERED that this court approve the stipulation and, 
effective the date of this order and until further order of the 
court, Attorney Alan A. Olshan’s continued practice of law in 
this state is subject to the following conditions:  (1) Attorney 
Olshan shall meet with his physician for assessment and 
treatment at least every three months and shall submit or 
authorize that physician to submit quarterly assessment reports 
to the OLR; (2) Attorney Olshan shall provide full medical and 
informational releases to the OLR so that staff of the OLR may 
communicate with his treating physicians; (3) Attorney Olshan 
shall not represent any clients at contested hearings without 
co-counsel or represent any criminal defendants in felony 
matters without co-counsel; and (4) Attorney Olshan shall 
cooperate with the monitoring of his law practice by an 
attorney, acceptable to the OLR, with quarterly reports to be 
filed by the monitoring attorney.
