ER CURIAM
T
he Committee on Bar Admissions advised petitioner that it could not certify
him for admission o n character and fitness grounds relating to his violation of his
law school’s student code of conduct. Petitioner then applied to this court for the
appointment of a commissioner. We remanded this 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 a
hearing, the commissioner filed his report with this court, recommending that
petitioner be admitted to the practice of law. Neither party object ed to this
recommendation.
Considering the commissioner’s recommendation and the entire record of this
proceeding, we conclude petitioner is eligible to be admitted to the practice of law
in Louisiana.
It is further ordered that petitioner shall comply with the requirements of
Section II(4)(a)(b) of this court’s order of July 22, 2020 within one year of the date
of admission.
