ER CURIAM
P
etitioner passed the Louisiana Bar Examination. T he Committee on Bar
Admissions (“Committee”) subsequently declined to certify petitioner for admission
on character and fitness grounds relating to a pattern of dishonest conduct. On
petitioner’s application to this court, we remanded the 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
petitioner’s application for admission be denied. Neither party objected to this
recommendation.
After reviewing the evidence and considering the law, we conclude that, at
this time, petitioner has failed to meet her burden of proving that she has “good moral
character” to be admitted to the Louisiana State Bar Association. See Supreme Court
Rule XVII, § 5(D). Accordingly, it is ordered that the application for admission be
and hereby is denied. In accordance with Supreme Court Rule XVII, § 9(D)(13),
petitioner may not re-apply for admission until one year has passed from the date of
this judgment.
ADMI
SSION DENIED.
