IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS Bar Docket No. 14366 In the Matter of JEAN MARIE BOBRINK, Respondent. ORDER OF DISBARMENT In a letter signed by the respondent on April 19, 2018, addressed to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts, respondent Jean Marie Bobrink, an attorney admitted to the practice of law in the state of Kansas, voluntarily surrendered her license to practice law in Kansas, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 217 (2018 Kan. S. Ct. R. 261). At the time the respondent surrendered her license, two disciplinary complaints were pending with the Disciplinary Administrator. First, on March 24, 2017, the respondent entered into a diversion agreement with the Disciplinary Administrator. In the agreement, the respondent stipulated that she violated Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (2018 Kan. S. Ct. R. 292) (diligence) and 1.4 (2018 Kan. S. Ct. R. 293) (communication). The diversion agreement remains in effect. Second, the Disciplinary Administrator was investigating a complaint that the respondent violated Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct 1.3 (2018 Kan. S. Ct. R. 292) (diligence), 1.4 (2018 Kan. S. Ct. R. 293) (communication), 1.15 (2018 Kan. S. Ct. R. 328) (safekeeping property), 1.16 (2018 Kan. S. Ct. R. 333) (termination of representation), and 8.4 (2018 Kan. S. Ct. R. 381) (professional misconduct). On January 30, 2018, the Missouri Supreme Court entered an order disbarring the respondent from the practice of law in Missouri based on this misconduct. 1 This court finds that the surrender of the respondent's license should be accepted and that the respondent should be disbarred.

S. Ct. R. 262). Dated this 3rd day of October, 2018. 2
