PER CURIAM.

¶2hThe Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation into allegations that respondent negligently commingled and converted client funds and charged her client legal fees for nonlegal services.

Having reviewed the petition,

¶3IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that Samantha R. Ackers, Louisiana Bar Roll number 32086, be suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year and one day, subject to the conditions set forth in the petition for consent discipline.

¶4IT 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.
