Upon review of
the findings and recommendation of the hearing committee
and disciplinary board, and considering the record,
briefs, and oral argument, it is the decision of this
court that respondent be disbarred from the practice
of law in the State of Louisiana. Because respondent
is already disbarred, it is ordered that the minimum
five-year period for applying for readmission from the
disbarment imposed in this case will not commence until
five years have expired from the effective date of respondent's
prior disbarment in In re: White , 97-2731 (La. 2/6/98),
706 So.2d 964. Respondent is ordered to make restitution
to Bennie Scott for undisbursed settlement funds. 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 the finality of this court's judgment
until paid.

Justice Pro Tempore, sitting for Associate Justice Harry
