IN RE Petition for DISCIPLINARY ACTION AGAINST Peder K. DAVISSON, a Minnesota Attorney, Registration No. 0257461.
ORDER
On July 21, 2022, we suspended respondent Peder K. Davisson from the practice of law for a minimum of 45 days, effective 14 days from the date of our order.
Respondent has filed an affidavit seeking reinstatement in which he states that he has complied with the terms of our order regarding reinstatement, except for successful completion of the written examination required for admission to the practice of law by the State Board of Law Examiners on the subject of professional responsibility. The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility does not oppose the request.
Based upon all the files, records, and proceedings herein,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. Respondent Peder K. Davisson is conditionally reinstated to the practice of law in the State of Minnesota, subject to his successful completion of the written examination required for admission to the practice of law by the State Board of Law Examiners on the subject of professional responsibility.
2. By July 21, 2023, respondent shall file with the Clerk of the Appellate Courts and serve upon the Director proof of respondent's successful completion of the written examination required for admission to the practice of law by the State Board of Law Examiners on the subject of professional responsibility. See Rule 4.A.(5), Rules for Admission to the Bar (requiring evidence than an applicant has successfully completed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination). Failure to do so shall result in automatic suspension, pending proof of successful completion of the examination, under Rule 18(e)(3), Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility.
