SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
NO. 2025-B-0999
IN RE: MICHAEL LYNN HARRIS
ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
PER CURIAM
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation
into allegations that respondent was arrested for driving under the influence of
alcohol. Prior to the filing of formal charges, respondent and the ODC submitted a
joint petition for consent discipline in which respondent admi tted that his conduct
violated Rule 8.4(b) of the Rules of Professional Conduct. Having reviewed the
petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
Michael Lynn Harris, Louisiana Bar Roll number 19339, be suspended from the
practice of law for a period of one year and one day. It is further ordered that all but
six months of the suspension shall be deferred , subject to a two -year period of
unsupervised probation. 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 any misconduct during the
probationary period, may be grounds for making the deferred portion of the
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.
