STATE OF MINNESOTA IN SUPREME COURT A13-0184 In re Petition for Disciplinary Action against Amanda Lyn Koble, a Minnesota Attorney, Registration No. 386825. ORDER The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility has filed a petition for disciplinary action alleging that respondent Amanda Lyn Koble committed professional misconduct, namely, improperly attempting to withdraw from representation of a client and misappropriating fees belonging to her law firm, in violation of Minn. R. Prof. Conduct 1.16(d) and 8.4(a), (c), and (d). Respondent waives her procedural rights under Rule 14, Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility (RLPR), and unconditionally admits the allegations of the petition for disciplinary action. The parties jointly recommend that the appropriate discipline is a 30-day suspension. The court has independently reviewed the file and approves the recommended disposition. 1 Based upon all the files, records, and proceedings therein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. Respondent Amanda Lyn Koble is suspended from the practice of law, effective 14 days after the date of the filing of this order, for a minimum of 30 days; 2. Respondent shall comply with Rule 26, RLPR (requiring notice of suspension to clients, opposing counsel, and tribunals); 3. Respondent shall pay $900 in costs pursuant to Rule 24, RLPR; 4. Respondent shall pay $1,300 in restitution to her former law firm; 5. Within one year of the date of filing of this order, respondent shall file with the Clerk of Appellate Courts and serve upon the Director proof of successful completion of the professional responsibility portion of the state bar examination. Failure to timely file the required documentation shall result in automatic re-suspension, as provided in Rule 18(e)(3), RLPR; and 6. Respondent shall be eligible for reinstatement to the practice of law following the expiration of the suspension period provided that, not less than 15 days before the end of the suspension period, respondent files with the Clerk of Appellate Courts and serves upon the Director an affidavit establishing that she is current in continuing legal education requirements, has complied with Rules 24 and 26, RLPR, has paid restitution to her former law firm, and has complied with any other conditions for reinstatement imposed by the court. 2 Dated: March 13, 2013 BY THE COURT: /s/ Alan C.
