ER CURIAM
P
etitioner passed the Louisiana Bar Examination. T he Committee on Bar
Admissions (“Committee”) subsequently declined to certify petitioner for admission
on character and fitness grounds relating to his (1) history of criminal offenses; (2)
undergraduate discipline; and (3) law school discipline. On petitioner’s application
to this court, we remanded the 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. Following the proceedings, the commissioner
filed his report with this court, recommending petitioner’s application for admission
be denied. Neither party objected to this recommendation.
After reviewing the evidence and considering the law, we conclude that, at
this time, petitioner has failed to meet his burden of proving that he has “good moral
character” to be admitted to the Louisiana State Bar Association. See Supreme Court
Rule XVII, § 5(D). Accordingly, it is ordered that the application for admission be
and hereby is denied. In accordance with Supreme Court Rule XVI I, § 9(D)(13),
petitioner may re-apply for admission upon a showing that he has complied with any
and all recommendations made to him by the Judges and Lawyers Assistance
Program.
ADMI
SSION DENIED.
