IN RE Petition for DISCIPLINARY ACTION AGAINST Jason Mario BRUNO, a Minnesota Attorney, Registration No. 0386447.
ORDER
In an April 12, 2022 order, we suspended respondent Jason Mario Bruno from the practice of law for a minimum of 6 months, effective 14 days from the date of that order. We allowed respondent to be reinstated by affidavit.
Respondent has filed an affidavit seeking reinstatement in which he states that he has fully complied with the terms of the suspension order, including filing proof of 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.
