R CURIAM
Upon petitioner’s application, we appointed a commissioner to hold a hearing
and take evidence of the question of whether petitioner had sufficient character and
fitness to be admitted to the bar. The commissioner recommended admission be
denied. Upon review of the commissioner’s recommendation and the record of the
proceedings, we denied petitioner’s request for admission w ith the provision that
petitioner may not re -apply for admission until he can demonstrate a change in
circumstances and in no event less than one year from the date of the judgment. In
re Committee on Bar Admissions CFN-665798, 19-0323 (La. 10/15/19), 280 So. 3d
564.
Petitioner now applies to this court and again seeks appointment of a
commissioner.
Based upon our review, we find petitioner has failed to make a sufficient
showing of a change in circumstances which would justify the appointment of a
commissioner. Accordingly, the request for appointment of a commissioner is
denied.
Petitioner may not reapply until he has shown a change of circumstances,
including, but not limited to, evidence that he has taken steps to address the concerns
raised by the commissioner over his liquidation of his debt obligations and a showing
that he has undergone an appropriate substance abuse evaluation at a treatment
facility approved by the Louisiana Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program and
complied with any treatment recommendations resulting from that evaluation.
