BAR ADMISSIONS PROCEEDING
PER CURIAM
After reviewing the evidence and considering the law, we conclude petitioner
is eligible to be admitted to the practice of law in Louisiana, subject to the following
conditions:
1. Petitioner shall continue to comply with the terms of the recovery
agreement he signed with the Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program (“JLAP”) on
October 24, 2024.
2. The period of this conditional admission shall coincide with the period of
petitioner’s JLAP agreement. However, petitioner ’s conditional admission status
shall not be terminated until this court so orders.
3. Petitioner shall authorize the Executive Director of JLAP to report any
violations of the JLAP agreement to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”).
4. Upon the expiration of the term of petitioner ’s JLAP agreement, the
Executive Director of JLAP shall forward to the ODC (a) a final report of petitioner’s
progress and participation in JLAP, and (b) a recommendation regarding the need
for petitioner’s continued participation in JLAP.
5. Following receipt of the report from JLAP, the ODC shall file a report in
this court in which it shall recommend whether the conditional admission shall be
allowed to terminate or shall be extended.
6. Petitioner shall cooperate with JLAP and the ODC, and shall comply with
any and all requirements imposed upon him by JLAP and the ODC.
2
Should petitioner fail to make a good faith effort to satisfy these conditions,
or should he commit any misconduct during the period of probation, his conditional
right to practice may be terminated or he may be subjected to other discipline
pursuant to the Rules for Lawyer Disciplinary Enforcement.
