STATE OF KANSAS, ex rel., CURT T. SCHNEIDER, Attorney General, Appellants,
v.
JERRY HILL d/b/a ECONO DIVORCE SERVICE, INC., Appellee.
No. 49,238

Supreme Court of Kansas.
Opinion filed January 21, 1978.
Philip A. Harley, assistant attorney general, argued the cause, and Curt T. Schneider, attorney general, and Daniel L. Watkins, assistant attorney general, were with him on the brief for the appellant.
Kenneth M. Carpenter, of Topeka, argued the cause, and John Valentine Wachtel IV, also of Topeka, was with him on the brief for the appellee.
Donald E. Lambdin, of Lambdin, Kluge & Moshier, Chartered, of Wichita, was on the brief amicus curiae for the Wichita Bar Association.
Per Curiam:
This is an appeal by the State of Kansas from a judgment entered by the district court of Shawnee County, determining that the defendant, Jerry Hill, is not engaged in the unauthorized practice of law, and denying injunctive relief.
The district court's order, omitting formal portions, is as follows:
CHIEF JUSTICE SCHROEDER, JUSTICE FROMME, and JUSTICE HOLMES would reverse; JUSTICES OWSLEY, PRAGER, and MILLER would affirm.
The judgment of the trial court is therefore affirmed by an equally divided court.
