NEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING

R CURIAM
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commence d an investigation into
allegations that respondent neglected legal matters, failed to communicate with clients,
failed to refund unearned fees, and failed to properly terminate the representation of clients.
Respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline in which
respondent admitted that his conduct violated Rules 1.3, 1.4, 1.5(b), 1.5(f)(5), 1.16(d), 3.2,
and 8.4(a) of the Rules of Professional Conduct. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Robert C. Jenkins, Jr., Louisiana Bar Roll number 19256, be suspended from the practice
of law for a period of one year and one day. All but six months of this suspension shall be
deferred, followed by 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 respondent 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 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.
