SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA NO. 11-B-2423 IN RE: KEVIN F. TUCKER ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS PER CURIAM*
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel ("ODC") commenced an investigation into allegations that respondent neglected his clients' legal matters and failed to communicate with his clients. Following the filing of formal charges, respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline. Having reviewed the petition, IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that Kevin F. Tucker, Louisiana Bar Roll number 29689, be suspended from the practice of law for a period of six months. This suspension shall be deferred in its entirety, subject to respondent's successful completion of a one-year period of supervised probation governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Petition for Consent Discipline. The probationary period shall commence from the date respondent, the ODC, and the probation monitor execute a formal probation plan. Any failure of respondent to comply with the conditions of probation, or any misconduct during the probationary period, may be grounds for making the deferred suspension executory, or imposing additional discipline, as appropriate. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all costs and expenses in the matter are assessed against respondent in accordance with Supreme Court Rule XIX,
