ORDER OF DISBARMENT 
 
 
In a letter signed May 17, 2017, addressed to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts,

Kan. S. Ct. R. 379).   
 
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.

from the practice of law in Kansas, and his license and privilege to practice law are 
hereby revoked.
