Murdick, 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 (2013 Kan. Ct. R.

At the time the respondent surrendered his license, his license to practice law in the state of Kansas was temporary suspended in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 203(c) (2013 Kan. Ct. R.
