PER CURIAM.
Considering the mover’s application for admission to the bar alleging that he has successfully passed the bar examination, has successfully passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam, that he has successfully completed his probation, and indicating that he is now of good moral character and fulfills all of the requirements of Article 14, Section 7(B), Articles of Incorporation of the Louisiana State Bar Association; and considering the notice of the Committee on Bar Admissions that applicant has failed to fulfill the requirement of good moral character;
