ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING

PER CURIAM

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commence d an investigation
into allegations that respondent failed to witness the signing of a document he
notarized, where the document contained a forged signature and was filed into the
public record. Respondent and the ODC then submitted a joint petition for consent
discipline in which respondent admitted that h is conduct violated Rules 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
Timothy Mathison , Louisiana Bar Roll number 17042, be suspended from the
practice of law for a period of ninety days. This suspension shall be deferred in its
entirety, subject to the condition that respondent successfully complete the Louisiana
State Bar Association’s Ethics School. Any failure of respondent to comply with
this condition, or any misconduct during the deferral 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 t his court’s
judgment until paid.
