UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
IN RE: Attorney Vanessa F. McCamant Administrative Order
_______________________________________________/ No. 20-AD-093
ORDER
Petitioner seeks reinstatement of the privilege of practicing law in this Court. This Court
suspended the privilege by order dated September 12, 2018, based on a suspension imposed by the
Michigan State Bar, and on this Court’s then existing Local Rules governing attorney discipline.
The Court has since changed its Local Rules. Under current rules, the Petitioner’s original
suspension would have presumptively been limited to the same time frame imposed by the original
suspending jurisdiction. In this case, that would have been only 179 days, provided petitioner
satisfied the other terms of the suspension.
Petitioner has submitted papers demonstrating that Michigan has fully reinstated her.
Moreover, the original suspension was for a limited period and principally tied to a single case.
The Court is satisfied under General Local Rule 2.3(b)(v) that reinstatement is appropriate and that
there is no need for a three-judge hearing panel.
Accordingly, Petitioner’s request for reinstatement is GRANTED effective upon entry of
this order. The Clerk of Court shall serve this order on Petitioner at her last known address.
