In re Judge Allen A. Krake

Summary

The Louisiana Supreme Court revoked Judge Allen A. Krake's probation after finding that he repeatedly failed to comply with the monitoring requirements of his Lawyers Assistance Program contract. The court made executory the remaining deferred suspension, suspending him without salary for the remainder of his judicial term through December 31, 2008.

Holdings

1. Judge Krake was not in compliance with the conditions of his probation because he failed to comply with the requirements of his Lawyers Assistance Program contract, and his medical condition did not excuse that noncompliance.
2. Upon finding that Judge Krake breached the conditions of probation, the Supreme Court revoked probation and made the remaining period of the deferred suspension executory.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Judge Krake violated the conditions of his probation by failing to comply with the requirements of his Lawyers Assistance Program contract.
