ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT


On December 5, 2008, this court suspended the petitioner, Boyd R. McPherson,
from the practice of law in Kansas for a period of 6 months. See In re McPherson, 287
Kan. 434, 196 P.3d 921 (2008). Before reinstatement, the petitioner was required to pay
the costs of the disciplinary action, comply with Supreme Court Rule 218 (2009 Kan. Ct.
R. Annot. 361), and undergo a reinstatement hearing pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 219
(2009 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 376).

On June 9, 2009, McPherson 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 Attorneys, pursuant to Supreme
Court Rule 219. On November 24, 2009, a hearing was held before a hearing panel of
the Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys to consider McPherson's request for
reinstatement.

On December 25, 2009, the panel filed its report setting out the circumstances
leading to McPherson's suspension, a summary of the evidence presented, and its
findings and recommendations. The panel unanimously recommended that McPherson's
petition for reinstatement to the practice of law in Kansas be granted.

recommendations of the panel. The petitioner is hereby reinstated to the practice of law
in Kansas.

enter McPherson's name upon the roster of attorneys engaged in the practice of law in
Kansas.
