ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING
On April 7, 2021, respondent was suspended from the practice of law for one year and one day, with all but six months deferred, followed by a two-year period of probation with conditions. Thereafter, the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation into allegations that respondent failed to inform a client of his suspension, failed to withdraw from the representation of his client, and filed two false affidavits with this court. Following the filing of formal charges, respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline in which respondent admitted that he violated Rules 1.4, 1.16(a)(1), 8.1(a), and 8.4(c) of the Rules of Professional Conduct. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that Robert C. Jenkins, Jr., Louisiana Bar Roll number 19256, be suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day.
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.
PER CURIAM
Crain, J., dissents and would reject the proposed discipline as too lenient.
McCallum, J., dissents and would reject the proposed discipline as too lenient.
