ORDER
 

  The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility has filed a petition under Rule 28, Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility (RLPR), for transfer of respondent Kevin Michael Koepke to disability-inactive status. The petition alleges that respondent has a disability that currently renders him unable to competently represent clients within the meaning of Rule 28(a), RLPR, and warrants his immediate transfer to disability-inactive status under Rule 28(e), RLPR.
 

  Respondent has entered into a stipulation with the Director wherein they jointly agree to dispense with further proceedings under Rule 28(e), RLPR, and in which respondent admits that he has a disability that currently renders him unable to competently represent clients within the meaning of Rule 28(a), RLPR. The parties jointly recommend that respondent be immediately transferred to disability-inactive status.
 

  Based upon all the files, records, and proceedings herein,
 

  IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
 

  1., Respondent Kevin Michael. Koepke is transferred to disability-inactive status effective as of the date of this order. While on disability-inactive status, respondent may not render legal advice, discuss legal matters with clients, or otherwise engage in the practice of law.
 

  . 2. Respondent shall comply, with Rule 26, RLPR (requiring notice of transfer to disability-inactive status to clients, oppos: ing counsel, and tribunals).
 

  3. If respondent seeks reinstatement to the active practice of law, he shall file a petition under Rule 18, RLPR.
