activein force · 2025-10-30 – presentact-effective-date

(1) The supreme court, on its own motion, upon the motion of

the director, or upon the motion of a special investigator acting under

SCR 22.25 filed in the disciplinary proceeding in which an order was

issued, may enforce any disciplinary order where the respondent has

failed to substantially comply with the order.

(2) Upon filing of a motion under sub. (1), the supreme court may

order the respondent to show cause why the relief requested in the

motion should not be granted. Within the time set forth in the order,

the respondent shall have the right to file with the supreme court a

written response to the order to show cause, and respondent shall serve

a copy of such response on the director, or special investigator. The

director, or special investigator, may file a reply memorandum within

10 days after filing of the response.

(3) The supreme court may decide the motion upon the

submissions of the parties, or may refer the matter to the referee

appointed in the proceeding, who shall promptly conduct a hearing and

file a report with the supreme court containing findings of fact,

conclusions of law, and a recommendation for disposition of the

motion. Unless otherwise directed by the supreme court, the referee

shall follow the procedures in SCR 22.15 and SCR 22.16, and may

conduct the hearing by telephone. A report issued by the referee is

reviewable under SCR 22.17.

(4) Upon the submissions of the parties, or upon receipt of the

report of the referee, the supreme court shall decide the motion, and

may either deny or dismiss the motion, or issue such orders as are

necessary to enforce the order.

(5) Nothing in this rule shall:

(a) Limit the authority of the director, or a special investigator,

to initiate an investigation or proceeding for misconduct or medical

incapacity under these rules.

(b) Limit the constitutional, statutory, or inherent authority of the

supreme court to enforce an order issued in a disciplinary proceeding.
