N RE: DAVID S. SCALIA
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
T he Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) and respondent entered into a
stipulation that respondent violated Rules 8.4(a) and 8.4(b) of the Rules of Professional
Conduct. As a sanction, the parties propose that respondent be suspended from the
practice of law for one year, fully deferred, subject to a one-year period of unsupervised
probation. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
David S. Scalia, Louisiana Bar Roll number 21369, be and hereby is suspended from
the practice of law for a period of one year.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this suspension shall be deferred in its entirety,
subject to respondent ’s successful completion of a one- year period of unsupervised
probation. 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.
