LOUISIANA STATE BAR ASSOCIATION v. SCHMITT, 371 So.2d 624 (La. 1979)

LOUISIANA STATE BAR ASSOCIATION v. EARL J. SCHMITT, JR.

No. 64245.Supreme Court of Louisiana.
June 1, 1979.

In re Earl J. Schmitt, Jr., applying for leave to resign to surrender license to practice law and to have stricken his name from the roll of attorney’s, disbarment on consent.

[1] IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED, That Earl J. Schmitt, Jr., be allowed to surrender his license to practice law; that the name of Earl J. Schmitt, Jr., be stricken from the Rolls of Attorneys thus resulting in the disbarment of Earl J. Schmitt, Jr., on his consent, effective the date of his suspension, January 18, 1977. [2] DIXON and MARCUS, JJ., dissent, being of the opinion this resignation should be effective from this date, no adequate showing of restitution having been made. [3] CALOGERO, J., concurs. The action of this Court here does not promise readmission of this applicant. He may simply apply for re-admission two years sooner than he might otherwise. By this action formal disbarment proceedings and attendant delays are obviated.
