IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS 
 
No. 102,473 
 
In the Matter of JAMES A. CLINE, 
Petitioner. 
 
ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT 
 
 
On October 9, 2009, this court suspended the petitioner, James A. Cline, from the 
practice of law in Kansas for a period of 3 years. See In re Cline, 289 Kan. 834, 217 P.3d 
455 (2009). In its opinion, this court permitted the petitioner to seek reinstatement after 
serving 1 year of the 3-year period of suspension.   
 
 
Before reinstatement, the petitioner was required to pay the costs of the disciplinary 
action, comply with Supreme Court Rule 218 (2010 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 370), and 
otherwise comply with Supreme Court Rule 219 (2010 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 370).  
 
 
On June 10, 2011, Cline filed a motion to suspend the remaining 2 years of the 
suspension. After careful consideration, this court grants Cline's motion, suspends the 
remaining period of suspension, and reinstates the petitioner to the practice of law in 
Kansas.   
 
 
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Cline be reinstated to the practice of law in the 
state of Kansas conditioned upon his compliance with the annual continuing legal 
education requirements and upon his payment of all fees required by the Clerk of the 
Appellate Courts and the Kansas Continuing Legal Education Commission. Upon the 
report to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts that the petitioner has complied with the annual 
continuing legal education requirements and has paid the fees required by the Clerk of the 
Appellate Courts and the Kansas Continuing Legal Education Commission, the Clerk is 
directed to enter petitioner's name upon the roster of attorneys engaged in the practice of 
law in Kansas.  
 
 
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this order of reinstatement for James A. Cline 
shall be published in the Kansas Reports. 
 
 
Dated this 22nd day of June, 2011.
