N RE: BRIAN L. McCULLOUGH
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
In
October 2016, respondent was arrested for third offense driving while
intoxicated; he later pleaded guilty to second offense DWI. Following the filing of
formal charges, respondent and the Office of Disciplinary Counsel submitted a joint
petition for consent discipline. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Brian L. McCullough , Louisiana Bar Roll number 31256 , be and he hereby is
suspended from the practice of law for a period of eighteen months, with all but one
year deferred. This suspension shall be retroactive to February 11, 2019, the date of
respondent’s interim suspension. Following the active portion of the suspension,
respondent shall be placed on probation for a period to coincide with his Judges and
Lawyers Assistance Program recovery agreement. The probationary period shall be
governed by the con ditions set forth in the Petition for Consent Discipline. Any
failure of respondent to comply with the conditions of probation, or any misconduct
during the probationary period, may be grounds for making the deferred portion of
the suspension executory, or imposing additional discipline, as appropriate.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all costs and expenses in the matter are
assessed against respondent in accordance with Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 10.1,
with legal interest to commence thirty days from the date of finality of this court’s
judgment until paid.
