N RE: ELLA D. KLIEBERT
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation
into allegations that respondent was arrested for driving under the influence of
alcohol. Respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline
in which respondent admitted that her conduct violated Rules 8.4(a) and 8.4(b) of
the Rules of Professional Conduct. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Ella D. Kliebert, Louisiana Bar Roll number 32529, be suspended from the practice
of law for a period of one year and one day. This suspension shall be deferred in its
entirety, subject to respondent’s successful completion of a two-year period of
probation governed by the conditions set forth in the petition for consent discipline.
The probationary period shall commence from the date res pondent and the ODC
execute a formal probation plan. 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 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.
