N RE: RONALD SIDNEY HALEY, JR.
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
W e suspended r espondent, Ronald Sidney Haley, Jr., for one year and one
day, with all but six months deferred, subject to certain conditions. In re: Haley, 21-
1466 (La. 12/7/21), 328 So. 3d 418 (“Haley I”). The Office of Disciplinary Counsel
(“ODC”) now petitions this court to make the deferred portion of the suspension
executory based upon allegations that respondent committed additional misconduct.
Supreme Court Rule XIX is silent with regard to the procedure for making a
deferred suspension executory. However, we find the provisions of Supreme Court
Rule XIX, Appendix C, Rule 6, which address the procedures for revocation of
probation, provide a useful analogy. We will employ this procedural framework for
addressing the instant petition.
Accordingly, the petition is remanded to the disciplinary board, which is
directed to conduct an evidentiary hearing pursuant to the provisions of Supreme
Court Rule XIX, Appendix C, Rule 6 and make an appropriate recommendation to
this court on the question of whether the deferred portion of respondent’s suspension
should be made executory.
