IN RE: ALBERT A. THIBODEAUX
ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
PER CURIAM
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation
into allegations that respondent signed his client’s name to a pleading, notarized the
signature, and then filed the pleading into the court record. Following the filing of
formal charges, respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent
discipline in which respondent admitted that hi s conduct violated Rules 1.1(a) and
8.4(d) of the Rules of Professional Conduct. Having reviewed the petition,
IT
IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Albert A. Thibodeaux, Louisiana Bar Roll number 24895, be suspended from the
practice of law for a period of six months. This suspension shall be deferred in its
entirety, subject to the condition that any misconduct by respondent during the
d
eferral 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.
