from the practice of law in Kansas, and his license and privilege to practice law are
hereby revoked.

Theodore R. Hoefle from the roll of attorneys licensed to practice law in Kansas.

       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this order shall be published in the Kansas Reports,
that the costs herein shall be assessed to the respondent, and that the respondent forthwith

       Dated this 16th day of January, 2018.
