Opinion

In a letter dated July 8, 2008, to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts, respondent Clay F. Hummer of Grapevine, Texas, 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 (2007 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 330).

At the time the respondent surrendered his license, a formal hearing had been held and the decision of a hearing panel was pending on a complaint in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 211 (2007 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 304). The complaint concerned allegations of misconduct that respondent violated KRPC 8.4(c), (d), and (g) of the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct as the result of his criminal conviction of nine counts of violating a court’s no stalking order and one count of computer trespass.

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.

It Is Therefore Ordered that Clay F. Hummer be and he is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in Kansas, and his license and privilege to practice law are hereby revoked.

It Is Further Ordered that the Clerk of the Appellate Courts strike the name of Clay F. Hummer from the roll of attorneys licensed to practice law in Kansas.

It Is Further Ordered that this order shall be published in the official Kansas Reports, that the costs herein shall be assessed to the respondent, and that the respondent forthwith shall comply with Supreme Court Rule 218 (2007 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 337).
