Having reviewed the petition,

IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that Timothy B. Holden, Louisiana Bar Roll number 34403, be suspended from the practice of law for a period of three years.

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.
