Among her more serious violations, she was arrested and charged with providing a

suspending petitioner from the practice of law for two years. In re: Scere, 19-0082
(La. 4/15/19), 267 So. 3d 581.
Petitioner subsequently filed an application for reinstatement with the
disciplinary board, alleging she has complied with the reinstatement criteria set forth
in Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 24(E). The Office of Disciplinary C ounsel filed a
notice concurring in petitioner’s reinstatement. Accordingly, the matter was referred
to the disciplinary board’s adjudicative committee chair, who approved petitioner’s
petition for reinstatement and recommended the petition be granted.

After considering the record, we will adopt the adjudicative committee chair’s
recommendation and reinstate petitioner to the practice of law , subject to the
conditions set forth in the ODC’s notice of concurrence.

DECREE
Upon review of the recommendation of the disciplinary board’s adjudicative
committee chair, and considering the record, it is ordered that Sangbahn Y. Scere,
Louisiana Bar Roll number 31958, be immediately reinstated to the practice of law
in Louisiana, subject to the conditions set forth in the ODC’s notice of concurrence.
All costs of these proceedings are assessed against petitioner.
