    In re Confidential Party (J.A.D.).
    No. 99-OB-2843.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Nov. 23, 1999.
   ORDER

Having considered the Joint Petition for Transfer to Disability Inactive Status filed by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel and Respondent,

IT IS ORDERED that the- petition for transfer to disability inactive status is denied. Because a disciplinary proceeding is pending against respondent, the sole ground for a transfer to disability inactive status is a claim that respondent is unable to assist in his defense due to a mental or physical disability. See Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 22, as amended November 23, 1999. The petition contains no such allegations. Respondent may file a new petition making the appropriate allegations,
