ORDER TRANSFERRING ATTORNEY TO DISABILITY INACTIVE
The State Bar and attorney Maria Michelle Anne Garcia Nisce have filed a joint petition asking this court to transfer Nisce to disability inactive status because Nisce currently is incapable of continuing the practice of law or defending against pending disciplinary proceedings due to a mental infirmity. Having reviewed the petition and supporting documentation, we conclude that Nisce is incapacitated for the purpose of practicing law or defending against pending disciplinary proceedings. Accordingly, we transfer attorney Maria Michelle Anne Garcia Nisce to disability inactive status commencing from the date of this order. See SCR 117(2). Any pending disciplinary proceedings or investigations against Nisce are suspended. Nisce must comply with SCR 117(4) in seeking reinstatement and may resume the active practice of law only upon reinstatement by order of this court. The parties shall comply with SCR 115 and SCR 121.1. See SCR 117(7). It is so ORDERED.
