Bar Docket No. 16013


In the Matter of JON MICHAEL KING,
Respondent.


ORDER OF DISBARMENT


In a letter signed on May 3, 2013, addressed to the Clerk of the Appellate
Courts, respondent Jon Michael King of Lawrence, Kansas, 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 (2012 Kan. Ct. R.
Annot. 389) as amended December 1, 2012.

At the time the respondent surrendered his license, he was pending a panel
hearing on a complaint in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 211 (2012 Kan.

1.7 (conflict of interest) (2012 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 506), 1.13 (organization as
client) (2012 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 536), 1.15 (trust account and record keeping)
(2012 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 541), and 8.4 (misconduct) (2012 Kan. Ct. R. Annot.
643) of the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct.

This court, having examined the files of the office of the Disciplinary
Administrator, finds that the surrender of the respondent's license should be
accepted and that the respondent should be disbarred.
