IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that Dennis E. Kelly, Louisiana Bar Roll number 7704, be publicly reprimanded. It is further ordered that respondent shall be placed on probation for a period of one year, subject to the conditions set forth in the petition for consent discipline. The probationary period shall commence from the date respondent and the ODC execute a formal probation plan.

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.
