In a letter received by the Clerk of the Appellate Courts on September 14, 2010, respondent Samuel P. Logan, of Overland Park, Kansas, 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 (2009 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 353).
On July 22, 2010, the respondent was charged with two felonies in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas.
