ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS

1PER CURIAM.

This disciplinary matter arises from five counts of formal charges filed by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) against respondent, Nicholas Sebastian Morphis, an attorney licensed to practice law in Louisiana, but currently on interim suspension. For the reasons that follow, we conclude respondent’s misconduct is egregious and warrants the sanction of permanent disbarment.

UNDERLYING FACTS

Respondent was admitted to the practice of law in 1992. The misconduct that forms the basis of these charges began shortly after his admission.
