ORDER
________________________________________________________________________
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) has filed formal charges against respondent,

Additionally, the ODC is conducting investigations into allegations that respondent engaged in a
conflict of interest and that his client trust account held insufficient funds to honor a check
presented for payment. Respondent now seeks to permanently resign from the practice of law in
lieu of discipline. The ODC has concurred in respondent’s petition.
Having considered the Petition for Permanent Resignation from the Practice of Law filed
by Patrick Bruce Sanders, Louisiana Bar Roll number 32674, and the concurrence thereto filed by
the ODC,
IT IS ORDERED that the request of Patrick Bruce Sanders for permanent resignation in
lieu of discipline be and is hereby granted, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 20.1 and Rule
5.5 of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Patrick Bruce Sanders shall be permanently prohibited
from practicing law in Louisiana or in any other jurisdiction in which he is admitted to the practice
of law; shall be permanently prohibited from seeking readmission to the practice of law in this
state or in any other jurisdiction in which he is admitted; and shall be permanently prohibited from
seeking admission to the practice of law in any jurisdiction.
