For the Court ORDER
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel ("ODC") is conducting an investigation into allegations that respondent, while on probation for similar misconduct, created a false judgment, forged a district court judge's signature on the false judgment, and forwarded a copy of same to his client. Respondent now seeks to permanently resign from the practice of law in lieu of discipline. The ODC has concurred in respondent's petition.
Having considered the Petition for Permanent Resignation from the Practice of Law filed by Craig T. Broussard, Louisiana Bar Roll number 26217, and the concurrence thereto filed by the ODC,
IT IS ORDERED that the request of Craig T. Broussard for permanent resignation in lieu of discipline be and is hereby granted, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 20.1 and Rule 5.5 of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Craig T. Broussard shall be permanently prohibited from practicing law in Louisiana or in any other jurisdiction in which he is admitted to the practice of law; shall be permanently prohibited from seeking readmission to the practice of law in this state or in any other jurisdiction in which he is admitted; and shall be permanently prohibited from seeking admission to the practice of law in any jurisdiction.
