N RE: COREY J. ORGERON
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation
into allegations that respondent engaged in a physical altercation with a client,
resulting in respondent’s conviction of simple battery. Following the filing of formal
charges, respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline.
Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Corey J. Orgeron, Louisiana Bar Roll number 20316, be and he hereby is suspended
from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day. All but thirty days of
this suspension shall be deferred, followed by respondent’s successful completion
of a two-year period of probation governed by the conditions set forth in the Petition
for Consent 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 portion of the
suspension executory, or imposing additional discipline, as appropriate.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all costs and expenses in the matter are
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
judgment until paid.
