ER CURIAM
P
etitioner applied to take the Louisiana Bar Examination. The Committee on
Bar Admissions advised petitioner that it could not certify him to take the bar exam
on character and fitness grounds. Petitioner then applied to this court for permission
to take the bar exam. We granted the application, with the condition that upon
petitioner’s successful completion of the exam, he apply for the appointment of a
commissioner to take character and fitness evidence.
Upon passing the bar exam, petitioner applied to this court for the appointment
of a commissioner. We remanded this matter to the Committee on Bar Admissions
Panel on Character and Fitness to conduct an investigation and appointed a
commissioner to take character and fitness evidence. The primary issue raised
during the proceeding was petitioner’s violation of his law school’s Honor Code by
collaborating with another law student on two final exams.
Following a hearing, t he commissioner filed his report with this court,
recommending that petitioner be admitted to the practice of law. Neither party
objected to this recommendation.
Considering the commissioner’s recommendation and the entire record of this
proceeding, we conclude petitioner is eligible to be admitted to the practice of law
in Louisiana.

SSION GRANTED.
