IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS

                                         No. 122,053

                           In the Matter of LAUREL R. KUPKA,
                                       Respondent.

                    ORDER OF DISCHARGE FROM PROBATION

      On February 28, 2020, the court suspended Laurel R. Kupka's Kansas law license
for a two-year period. The court ordered that following nine months of suspension,
Kupka could petition for an early reinstatement and undergo a reinstatement hearing. In
re Kupka, 311 Kan. 193, 458 P.3d 242 (2020).

      On November 8, 2021, the court granted Kupka's petition for reinstatement of her
law license following a reinstatement hearing. The court stayed the remainer of the two-
year suspension and placed Kupka on two years' probation. In re Kupka, 314 Kan. 290,
497 P.3d 573 (2021).

      On February 20, 2024, Kupka motioned the court to discharge her from probation.
See Supreme Court Rule 227(g)(1) (2023 Kan. S. Ct. R. at 284) (probation discharge).
The Office of the Disciplinary Administrator (ODA) responded that Kupka has complied
with her probation, confirmed Kupka's eligibility to be discharged from probation, and
voiced no objection to such discharge.

      This court notes the ODA's response, grants Kupka's motion, and fully discharges
Kupka from probation. Accordingly, this disciplinary proceeding is closed.

                                             1
      The court orders the publication of this order in the Kansas Reports and assesses
any remaining costs of this proceeding to Kupka.

      Dated this 29th day of March 2024.
