N RE: JOHN CHRISTOPHER ALEXANDER
At
torney Disciplinary Proceeding
PE
R CURIAM
The Motion for Dissolution of Consent Interim Suspension is denied at this
time. It is troubling that approximately 22 months have passed and ODC has yet to
file formal charges against respondent. This is particularly notable given that
respondent self-reported the alleged violations and agreed that interim suspension
was warranted shortly after the alleged violations. See In re: Alexander, 2019-2016
(La. 1/10/20), 286 So. 3d 1040 . T he efficient administration of the lawyer
disciplinary system requires timely adjudication of the merits — especially where
there is an order of interim suspension. N evertheless, in view of the seriousness of
the allegations, I nterim suspension should not at this time be dissolved, provided
that ODC proceeds to file the formal charge and set the case for merits determination
before a Hearing Committee.
