On March 1, 2013, this court suspended the petitioner, Scott C. Stockwell, 
from the practice of law in Kansas for a period of 1 year. See In re Stockwell, 296 
Kan. 860, 295 P.3d 572 (2013). The court further ordered that the petitioner 
undergo a hearing, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 219 (2015 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 
403), prior to consideration of a petition for reinstatement. 
 
On March 3, 2014, petitioner filed a petition for reinstatement. On July 2, 
2014, petitioner filed an amended petition for reinstatement. On July 21, 2014, the 
court referred the amended petition to the Disciplinary Administrator for 
investigation and hearing. On January 14, 2016, a hearing panel of the Kansas 
Board for Discipline of Attorneys conducted a hearing to consider the petitioner's 
petition for reinstatement.  
 
On March 16, 2016, the hearing panel filed its report setting out the 
circumstances leading to the petitioner's suspension, a summary of the evidence 
presented, and its findings and recommendations. The panel unanimously 
recommended that the petitioner's petition for reinstatement of his license to 
practice law in Kansas be granted, subject to practice supervision as detailed in the
