subject to the conditions stipulated to by the parties, including a two -year period of
probation to run concurrently with a two -year monitoring contract between
respondent and the Judges and Lawyer’s Assistance Program (“JLAP”).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED t he probationary period shall not commence
until respondent produces evidence to the ODC that he has entered into the two-year
monitoring agreement with JLAP, at which time respondent, the probation monitor,

a JLAP monitoring contract within thirty days of the date of this order, the ODC
shall immediately advise this court and may move to set aside this consent discipline.
