    No. 94-B-2163.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Jan. 31, 1997.
   DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS

PER CURIAM

Respondent, an attorney licensed to practice law in Louisiana and California, was subject to disciplinary proceedings in California involving four counts of professional misconduct. The misconduct included (1) failure to file a complaint on behalf of a client prior to expiration of the statute of limitations; (2) improper endorsement of signature without permission; (3) failure to timely remit funds, and (4) failure to promptly pay funds to medical providers. The Supreme Court of California found .respondent guilty of all counts and suspended him from the practice of law for one year, with the suspension stayed upon two years probation conditioned on thirty days actual suspension subject to conditions. The court further ordered respondent to make restitution to victims.

On the showing made by the disciplinary counsel regarding the disciplinary proceedings in the State of California and considering that respondent was given thirty days to respond to disciplinary counsel’s filing, but did not do so, and in light of the provisions of La Sup.Ct. Rule XIX, § 21 regarding reciprocal discipline, it is the decision of the court ■that the same discipline imposed in California be imposed in Louisiana. Accordingly, it is ordered that Edgar Louis Borne, III is suspended from the practice of law in Louisiana for one year with the suspension stayed upon two years probation conditioned on thirty days actual suspension and that respondent make restitution to his victims. He is further ordered to comply with all other conditions of probation recommended by the Supreme Court of California.
