The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation

suspension shall be deferred in its entirety, subject to a two-year period of probation
governed by the conditions set forth in the pe tition for c onsent 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 any misconduct during the probationary period, may be grounds for
making the deferred suspension executory, or imposing additional discipli ne, as

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
