TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
PE
R CURIAM
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commence d an investigation into
allegations that respondent made false representations to a court and engaged in conduct
prejudicial to the administration of justice. Prior to the filing of formal charges, respondent
and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline in which respondent admitted
that his conduct violated Rules 3.3(a), 3.3(d), 4.1(b), 8.4(c), and 8.4(d) of the Rules of
Professional Conduct. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Christopher James Jenkins, Louisiana Bar Roll number 38461, be and he hereby is
suspended from the practice of law for a period of six months. All but ninety days of this
suspension shall be deferred, followed by 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.
