ER CURIAM
T he Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commence d an investigation
into allegations that respondent neglected a legal matter, failed to communicate with
a client, and failed to make reasonable efforts to expedite litigation. Respondent and

admitted that his conduct violated Rules 1.3, 1.4, 3.2, and 8.4(a) of the Rules of
Professional Conduct. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Bryce Jefferson Denny, Louisiana Bar Roll number 22763 , be suspended from the
practice of law for a period of six months. This suspension shall be deferred in its
entirety, subject to a one-year period of probation with the conditions set forth in the
petition for consent discipline. The probationary period shall commence from the
date respondent and the ODC execute a formal probation plan. Any failure of
respondent to comply with the conditions of probation, or a ny misconduct during
the probationary period, 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
