ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT

On August 19, 2011, this court suspended the respondent, Michael E. Foster, from
the practice of law in Kansas for a period of 6 months. See In re Michael E. Foster, 292

the costs of the disciplinary action and comply with Supreme Court Rule 218 (2012 Kan.
Ct. R. Annot. 397) and Supreme Court Rule 219 (2012 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 398).

On June 15, 2012, Michael E. Foster filed a petition with this court for
reinstatement to the practice of law in Kansas. The petition was referred to the
Disciplinary Administrator for consideration by the Kansas Board for Discipline of

that the respondent met all requirements set forth by the court.

The court, after carefully considering the record, grants the respondent's petition
for reinstatement.

of law in the state of Kansas conditioned upon his compliance with the annual continuing

paid the fees required by the Clerk of the Appellate Courts and the Kansas Continuing
2

Legal Education Commission, the Clerk is directed to enter respondent's name upon the
roster of attorneys engaged in the practice of law in Kansas.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this order of reinstatement of Michael E. Foster
shall be published in the Kansas Reports, and the costs of the reinstatement proceedings
are assessed to the respondent.

Dated this 18th day of January, 2013.
