IN RE: EDMOND H. KNOLL

ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING

PER CURIAM
*
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation
into allegations that respondent engaged in criminal conduct. Prior to the filing of
formal charges, respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent
discipline. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Edmond H. Knoll, Louisiana Bar Roll number 29046, be and he hereby is suspended
from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day. It is further ordered
that this suspension shall be deferred in its entirety and that respondent shall be
placed on probation for a period to coincide with the term of his recovery agreement
with the Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program. Any failure of respondent to
comply with the terms of the agreement may be grounds for making the deferred
suspension executory, or imposing additional discipline, as appropriate.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all costs and expenses in the matter are
assessed against respondent in accordance with Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 10.1,
with legal interest to commence thirty days from the date of finality of this court’s
judgment until paid.
