On July 15, 2016, this court suspended the petitioner's license to practice

undergo a reinstatement hearing, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 219 (2018 Kan. 
S. Ct. R. 264), prior to consideration of a petition for reinstatement. In re Odo, 
304 Kan. 844, 375 P.3d 320 (2016).   
 
On July 31, 2017, the petitioner filed a petition for reinstatement under 
Supreme Court Rule 219 (2018 Kan. Sup. Ct. R. 264).  On May 10, 2018, a 
hearing panel of the Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys conducted a hearing 
on the petitioner's petition for reinstatement. Thereafter, on July 9, 2018, the 
hearing panel entered a final hearing report, recommending that the petitioner’s 
petition for reinstatement be granted.   
 
The court, after carefully considering the record, accepts the findings and 
recommendations of the hearing panel and grants the petitioner's petition for 
reinstatement of his license to practice law in Kansas.   
 
 
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the petitioner be reinstated to the practice 
of law in Kansas conditioned upon his compliance with the annual continuing 
legal education requirements and upon his payment of all fees required by the

2 
Commission. Upon proof provided 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 the 
petitioner's name upon the roster of attorneys engaged in the practice of law in 
Kansas.  
 
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this order be published in the official Kansas 
Reports and that the costs herein be assessed to the petitioner.
