N RE: MARY LEE HOLMES
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
R espondent is licensed to practice law only in Mississippi ; however, the
Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) asserts jurisdiction over her in this matter
pursuant to Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 6(A) and Rule 8.5 of the Rules of
Professional Conduct, which together extend this court’s disciplinary authority to
lawyers who provide or offer to provide legal services in Louisiana.
Respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline , in
which respondent acknowledges that she assumed the representation of a criminal
defendant in Louisiana and appeared on his behalf in a Louisiana court without first
seeking pro hac vice admission. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Mary Lee Holmes be and she hereby is publicly reprimanded.
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.
