ON APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION TO THE BAR
PER CURIAM*
LThe Committee on Bar Admissions (“Committee”) opposed the application of petitioner, Chadwick Alan Tobler, to sit for the Louisiana Bar Examination based on character and fitness concerns relating to his simultaneous enrollment in two summer law school programs and his failure to disclose a delinquent debt on his bar application. We subsequently granted petitioner permission to sit for the bar exam, with the provision that upon his successful completion of the exam, he apply to the court for the appointment of a commissioner to take character and fitness evidence. In re: Tobler, 11-1517 (La.7/13/11), 67 So.3d 471.
Petitioner thereafter successfully passed the essay portion of the bar exam, and upon his application, we remanded this matter to the Committee on Bar Admissions Panel on Character and Fitness to conduct an investigation and appointed a commissioner to take character and fitness evidence. Following a hearing in the matter, the commissioner filed his report with this court, recommending admission be granted. Neither petitioner nor the Committee objected to that recommendation.
Considering the commissioner’s recommendation, the absence of any objection from the Committee, and the entire record of this proceeding, we conclude petitioner is eligible to be admitted to the practice of law in Louisiana.
ADMISSION GRANTED.
