SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
NO. 2022-BA-1610
IN RE: COMMITTEE ON BAR ADMISSIONS CFN-506955
BAR ADMISSIONS PROCEEDING
PER CURIAM
Petitioner passed the Louisiana Bar Examination. The Committee on Bar
Admissions (“Committee”) subsequently declined to certify pe titioner for
admission, citing his criminal history and the issuance of temporary restraining
orders against him in connect ion with family law proceedings . 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, finding that petitioner
has been rehabilitated from his past conduct and recommending that he be
conditionally 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, subject to the following conditions:
I. The term of this conditional admission shall be for two years from the date of
admission. However, petitioner’s conditional admission status shall not be
terminated until this court so orders.
II. Within thirty days of petitioner’s admission, he shall enter into a formal plan
with the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) incorporating the following
conditions:

2

A. Petitioner shall request that the ODC appoint a practice monitor to
supervise his professional activities during the period of this
conditional admission. Petitioner shall comply with all reasonable
requests of his practice monitor.
B. Petitioner shall cooperate with the ODC, and shall comply with any and
all requirements imposed upon him by the ODC.
III. Within thirty days prior to the expiration of the conditional admission, the
ODC shall file a report in this court in which it shall recommend to the court
that the conditional admission be allowed to terminate or be extended.
Should petitioner fail to make a good faith effort to satisfy these conditions,
or should he commit any misconduct during the period of probation, his conditional
right to practice may be terminated or he may be subjected to other discipline
pursuant to the Rules for Lawyer Disciplinary Enforcement.

CONDITIONAL ADMISSION GRANTED.
