SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA NO. 12-B-0688 IN RE: GREGORY B. DEAN ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS PER CURIAM*
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel ("ODC") commenced an investigation into allegations that respondent failed to adequately maintain the financial records of his client trust account, which resulted in a negligent conversion of funds. Prior to the institution 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 Gregory B. Dean, Louisiana Bar Roll number 4765, be suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day. This suspension shall be deferred in its entirety, subject to respondent's successful completion of a two-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 probation monitor, and the ODC 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.
