N RE: CHRISTOPHER D. GRANGER

TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
Th e Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commence d an investigation
into allegations that respondent neglected a legal matter, failed to communicate with

Prior to 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
Christopher D. Granger, Louisiana Bar Roll number 35153, be suspended from the
practice of law for a period of six months. This suspension shall be deferred in its
entirety, subject to a one-year period of probation with the condition that respondent
attend and successfully complete the Louisiana State Bar Association’s Ethics
School within one year of the date of this judgment. 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 a ny
misconduct during the probationary period, may be grounds for making the deferred
suspension executory, or imposing additional discipline, as appropriate.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERE D 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.
