ER CURIAM
Petitioner applied to take the Louisiana Bar Examination. The Committee on
Bar Admissions (“Committee”) advised petitioner that it could not certify him to
take the bar exam on character and fitness grounds. Petitioner then applied to this
court for permission to take the bar exam. We granted the application, with the
condition that upon petitioner’s successful completion of the exam, he apply for the
appointment of a commissioner to take character and fitness evidence.
Upon passing the bar exam, and on petitioner’s application to this court, we
remanded this matter to the Committee on Bar Admissions Panel on Character and
Fitness to conduct an investigation and appointed a commissioner to take character
and fitness evidence. Following the proceedings, the commissioner filed his report
with this court, recommending that petitioner be admitted to the practice of law.
Neither party objected to this recommendation.
Considering the commissioner’s recommendation and the entire record of this
proceeding, we conclude petitioner is eligible to be admitted to the practice of law
in Louisiana.
