ORDER OF DISBARMENT
ATTORNEY AND CLIENT — Disciplinary Proceeding — Disbarment.
In a letter dated May 7, 1996, to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts, respondent Michael D. Wilson, of Wichita, an attorney admitted to practice law in the state of Kansas, voluntarily surrendered his license to practice law in Kansas, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 217 (1995 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 219).
At the time respondent surrendered his license, there were four separate complaints scheduled for hearing before a panel of the Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys. The complaints contained allegations of lack of diligence in handling matters for clients and lack of communication with clients and included four allegations of failure to cooperate in the disciplinary process. In addition, four other complaints had been received and docketed and were being investigated by the Disciplinary Administrator’s office. These complaints contained allegations of dilatory handling of client affairs and lack of communication with clients. Again, respondent failed to cooperate with the Disciplinary Administrator’s office in its investigation of those complaints.
This court, having examined the files of the office of the Disciplinary Administrator, finds that the surrender of respondent’s license should be accepted and that respondent should be disbarred.

DATED this 6th day of June, 1996.
