ORDER OF DISBARMENT 
 
 
 
In a letter received by the Clerk of the Appellate Courts on December 11, 
2012, respondent Robert M. Telthorst, 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 (2011 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 371) as 
amended December 1, 2012. 
 
 
On October 21, 2011, the respondent was temporarily suspended from the 
practice of law pending the outcome of disciplinary proceedings against him. On 
November 14, 2012, the respondent pleaded guilty to two felonies in the United 
States District Court for the District of Kansas. The crimes to which the 
respondent pleaded guilty were 18 U.S.C. § 1343 (2006), wire fraud, and 18 
U.S.C. § 1956 (2006), money laundering. 
 
 
This court, having examined the files of the office of the Disciplinary 
Administrator, finds the surrender of the respondent's license should be accepted 
and that the respondent should be disbarred. 
 
 
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Robert M. Telthorst be and he is 
hereby disbarred from the practice of law in Kansas, and his license and privilege 
to practice law are hereby revoked.

Ct. R. Annot. 379) amended December 1, 2012. 
 
 
DATED this 19th day of December, 2012.
