AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING

ER CURIAM
T he Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation
into allegations that respondent was arrested for driving while intoxicated. 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
Justin Bo West, Louisiana Bar Roll number 31563, 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 monitoring
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.
