ER CURIAM
R espondent is licensed to practice law only in Texas; however, the Office of
Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) asserts jurisdiction over him in this matter pursuant
to Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 6(A) and Rule 8.5 of the Rules of Professional
Conduct, which together extend this court’s disciplinary authority to lawyers who
provide or offer to provide legal services in Louisiana.
Respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline ,
in
which respondent acknowledges that he engaged in the unauthorized practice of law.
Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Manfred Max Sternberg shall be enjoined for a period of one year from seeking full
admission to the Louisiana bar or seeking admission to practice in Louisiana on any
temporary or limited basis, including, but not limited to, seeking pro hac vice
admission before a Louisiana court pursuant to Supreme Court Rule XVII, § 13 or
seeking limited admission as an in -house counsel pursuant to Supreme Court Rule
XVII, § 14.
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.
