AR ADMISSIONS PROCEEDING

ER CURIAM
P
etitioner sat for and passed the July 2021 Louisiana bar examination.
However, the Committee on Bar Admissions (“Committee”) advised petitioner that
it could not certify him for admission on character and fitness grounds. P etitioner
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. The primary issues raised during the proceeding were petitioner’s history
of arrests, his child support obligation, and his defaulted student loans.
Following a hearing, the commissioner filed his report with this court,
recommending that petitioner be admitted to the practice of law. Neither party
objected 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.
ADMI
SSION GRANTED.
