SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA NO. 00-B-0891 IN RE: MEYER SABLUDOWSKY

ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS PER CURIAM*
This disciplinary matter arises from two sets of formal charges filed by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel ("ODC") against respondent, Meyer Sabludowsky, an attorney licensed to practice law in Louisiana.

UNDERLYING FACTS 98-DB-073 Respondent represented Helen Barrow in a personal injury case that settled for $8,645.45. On January 29, 1996, respondent deposited the settlement check into his trust account. The following day, respondent accounted for the settlement to his client and retained the sum of $1,727 to pay Uptown Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, a third-party medical provider. However, respondent did not pay the medical provider until February 24, 1997. The ODC also alleges that between July 31, 1996 and August 15, 1996, and between August 21, 1996 and February 23, 1997, the balance in respondent's trust account fell below the amount with which he had been entrusted to pay the medical provider.
