N RE: IVAN J. THOMPSON
AT
TORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
P
ER CURIAM
Th e Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commence d an investigation
into allegations that respondent mishandled his client trust account. 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
Ivan J. Thompson, Louisiana Bar Roll number 38082 , be suspended from the
practice of law for a period of six months. This suspension shall be deferred in its
entirety, subject to a two -year period of supervised probation governed by the
conditions set forth in the petition for consent discipline. The probationary period
shall commence from the date respondent, the probation monitor, 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 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.
