Respondent failed to reply to a disciplinary complaint filed against him with the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”), and failed to appear for a sworn statement. Following the filing of formal charges, respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline, in which the parties agree that respondent failed to cooperate with the ODC in its investigation, in violation of Rule 8.1(c) of the Rules of Professional Conduct. Having reviewed the petition,
IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that Ravinder P. Khinda, Louisiana Bar Roll number 36786, 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.
