Joint petition for consent discipline accepted. See per curiam.
ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation into allegations that respondent engaged in the practice of law during a period of ineligibility in violation of Rules 1.1(c), 5.5(a), and 8.4(a) of the Rules of Professional Conduct. 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 John Owen Shirley, Jr., Louisiana Bar Roll number 32940, be publicly reprimanded.
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 courts judgment until paid.

McCallum, J., would reject consent discipline as too lenient.
