The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) has filed three sets of formal charges alleging serious professional misconduct by respondent, including conversion of client and third-party funds and facilitation of the unauthorized practice of law by a suspended attorney. Respondent now seeks to permanently resign from the practice of law in lieu of discipline. The ODC has concurred in respondent’s petition.

IT IS ORDERED that the request of Mark A. Peoples for permanent resignation in lieu of discipline be and is hereby granted, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 20.1 and Rule 5.5 of the Rules of Professional Conduct.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Mark A. Peoples shall be permanently prohibited from practicing law in Louisiana or in any other jurisdiction in which he is admitted to the practice of law; shall be permanently prohibited from seeking readmission to the practice of law in this state or in any other jurisdiction in which he is admitted; and shall be permanently prohibited from seeking admission to the practice of law in any jurisdiction.
