Opinion

Joint petition for consent discipline accepted. See per curiam.

PER CURIAM

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation into allegations that respondent failed to comply with attorney advertising rules. Respondent also failed to cooperate with the ODC in its investigation of two disciplinary complaints. Respondent and the ODC then submitted a joint petition for consent discipline in which respondent admitted that his conduct violated Rules 7.2(a)(3), 8.1(b), and 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 Stavros Panagoulopoulos, Louisiana Bar Roll number 33622, be and he hereby is suspended from the practice of law for a period of six months. All but ninety days of this suspension shall be deferred, followed by a one-year period of probation. The probationary period shall commence from the date respondent and the ODC execute a formal probation plan. Any failure of respondent to comply with the conditions of probation, or any misconduct during the probationary period, may be grounds for making the deferred portion of the suspension executory, or imposing additional discipline, as appropriate.

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.
