IN RE: Clifton M. DAVIS, III


Joint Petition for Consent Discipline.

ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING

PER CURIAM

1Respondent failed to timely file a lawsuit on behalf of his client, attempted to fax-file the petition when he was ineligible to practice law, and misled his client about the status of the matter.

This suspension shall run consecutively to the one year and one day suspension imposed by this court in In re: Davis, 23-1222 (La. 12/19/23), 374 So. 3d 966.

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.
