IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS 
 
No. 116,804 
 
In the Matter of DENNIS JAMES MOLAMPHY, 
Respondent. 
 
ORDER OF DISBARMENT 
 
 
In a letter signed by the respondent on April 7, 2017, addressed to the Clerk of the 
Appellate Courts, respondent Dennis James Molamphy, an attorney admitted to the 
practice of law in the state of Kansas, voluntarily surrendered his license to practice law 
in Kansas, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 217 (2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 260).  
 
 
At the time the respondent surrendered his license, review was pending before this 
court on the final hearing report in accordance with Kansas Supreme Court Rule 212 
(2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 255). The hearing panel found that the respondent violated Kansas 
Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 287) (competence); 3.3 (2017 
Kan. S. Ct. R. 342) (candor toward the tribunal); 5.3 (2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 358) 
(responsibilities regarding nonlawyer assistance); and 8.4 (2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 379) 
(misconduct).  
 
This court, having examined the files of the office of the Disciplinary 
Administrator, finds that the surrender of the respondent's license should be accepted and 
that the respondent should be disbarred. 
 
 
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Dennis James Molamphy be and he is hereby 
disbarred from the practice of law in Kansas and his license and privilege to practice law 
are hereby revoked.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Appellate Courts strike the name of 
Dennis James Molamphy from the roll of attorneys licensed to practice law in Kansas. 
 
 
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this order shall be published in the Kansas Reports, 
that the costs herein shall be assessed to the respondent, and that the respondent forthwith 
shall comply with Supreme Court Rule 218 (2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 262).  
 
 
DATED this 11th day of April, 2017.
