ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS
PER CURIAM.The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation into allegations that respondent practiced law while ineligible to do so. Prior to the institution 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 Derrick Damond Jones, Louisiana Bar Roll number 28298, be suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day, with all but sixty days deferred, followed by a two-year period of probation governed by the terms and 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. 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 court’s judgment until paid.
