STATE OF MINNESOTA IN SUPREME COURT A13-2272 In re Petition for Disciplinary Action against Frances S. Li, a Minnesota Attorney, Registration No. 143418. ORDER The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility filed a petition for disciplinary action alleging that respondent Frances S.

The court has independently reviewed the file and approves the recommended disposition. Based upon all the files, records, and proceedings herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that respondent Frances S. Li is publicly reprimanded. 1 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that respondent shall pay $900 in costs, pursuant to Rule 24, RLPR. Dated: January 15, 2014 BY THE COURT: /s/ Alan C. Page Associate Justice 2
