IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS

                                  Bar Docket No. 11657

                          In the Matter of EVERETT JAY GREENO,
                                        Respondent.

                               ORDER OF DISBARMENT

        In a letter signed by the respondent on May 28, 2019, addressed to the Clerk of the
Appellate Courts, respondent Everett Jay Greeno, 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 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 267).

        On October 3, 2018, this court suspended the respondent's license to practice law
for failing to pay the annual registration fee. The respondent's license to practice law
remains suspended.

        At the time the respondent surrendered his license, two disciplinary complaints
were pending with the Disciplinary Administrator alleging violations of Kansas Rules of
Professional Conduct 1.3 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 298) (diligence), 1.4 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R.
299) (communication), 1.15 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 334) (safekeeping property), 1.16 (2019
Kan. S. Ct. R. 339) (termination of representation), 8.1 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 384) (failure
to respond to disciplinary authority), and 8.4 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 387) (professional
misconduct), as well as Supreme Court Rules 207 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 252) (failure to
cooperate in disciplinary investigation) and 208 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 252) (registration).
A hearing before the Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys is scheduled for June 5,
2019.
