IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that John Roumain Peters, III, Louisiana Bar Roll number 21810, be and he hereby is suspended from the practice of law for a period of three months, fully deferred.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all costs and expenses in the matter are assessed against respondent in accordance with Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 10.1, with legal interest to commence thirty days from the date of finality of this court’s judgment until paid.

CRICHTON, J., dissents and assigns reasons.

CRICHTON, J.,

dissents.

U respectfully dissent. Based upon the instant circumstances, particularly the sanctions imposed by the trial judge, I believe the suspension of three months, fully deferred, is unduly harsh. In my view, a public reprimand is a more appropriate discipline in this case, and I would therefore reject the joint petition for consent discipline.
