IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS

                                    Bar Docket No. 20911

                          In the Matter of DAVID LEE MCCOLLUM,
                                         Respondent.

                                ORDER OF DISBARMENT

       This court admitted David Lee McCollum to the practice of law in Kansas on
September 27, 2002. The court administratively suspended McCollum's Kansas law
license on October 10, 2023, due to his noncompliance with registration and continuing
legal education requirements. The court notes that as of the date of this order, McCollum
had not paid any of the annual registration and continuing legal education fees related to
the administrative suspension of his Kansas law license.

       McCollum was also licensed to practice law in Missouri. On March 15, 2023, the
Missouri Supreme Court disbarred McCollum after accepting his application to
voluntarily surrender his Missouri law license.

       McCollum now faces a related Kansas disciplinary complaint and requests
to voluntarily surrender his Kansas law license under Supreme Court Rule 230(a) (2024
Kan. S. Ct. R. at 287).

       This court accepts McCollum's request to voluntarily surrender his Kansas law
license, disbars McCollum under Rule 230(b), and revokes McCollum's license and
privilege to practice law in Kansas.

       This court further orders the Office of Judicial Administration to strike the name
of David Lee McCollum from the roll of attorneys licensed to practice law in Kansas
effective the date of this order.

                                             1
       The court notes that under Rule 230(b)(1)(C), any Kansas disciplinary case
pending against McCollum terminates effective the date of this order. The Disciplinary
Administrator may direct an investigator to complete any pending investigation to
preserve evidence.

       Finally, the court directs that this order be published in the Kansas Reports, that
the costs herein be assessed to McCollum under Supreme Court Rule 229 (2024 Kan. S.
Ct. R. at 286), and that McCollum comply with Supreme Court Rule 231 (2024 Kan. S.
Ct. R. at 289).

       Dated this 26th day of April 2024.
