BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL
RESPONSIBILITY, WYOMING
STATE BAR,

Petitioner,
                                                  D-16-0005
v.

SAMUEL P. KRONE, WSB # 6-3534,

Respondent.


                     ORDER OF IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION
[¶1] Pursuant to Rule 17 of the Wyoming Rules of Disciplinary Procedure, Bar
Counsel for the Wyoming State Bar filed, on August 1, 2016, a “Petition for Immediate
Suspension of Attorney.” The Court, after a careful review of the petition, the “Affidavit
of Bar Counsel in Support of Petition for Immediate Suspension of Attorney,” and the
file, concludes that the petition for immediate suspension should be granted and that
Respondent should be suspended from the practice of law pending resolution of the
formal charge that has been, or will be, filed against him. See Rule 17(b)(4) (“Within
fifteen (15) days of the entry of an order of immediate suspension, Bar Counsel shall file
a formal charge.”). It is, therefore,

[¶2] ADJUDGED AND ORDERED that, effective immediately, Respondent Samuel
P. Krone, shall be, and hereby is, suspended from the practice of law, pending final
resolution of the formal charge that has been, or will be, filed against him; and it is
further

[¶3] ORDERED that, during the period of suspension, Respondent shall comply with
the requirements of the Wyoming Rules of Disciplinary Procedure, particularly the
requirements found in Rule 21; and it is further
[¶4] ORDERED that, pursuant to Rule 9(b) of the Wyoming Rules of Disciplinary
Procedure, this Order of Immediate Suspension shall be published in the Pacific
Reporter; and it is further

[¶5] ORDERED that the Clerk of this Court shall transmit a copy of this Order of
Immediate Suspension to the Respondent, Bar Counsel, members of the Board of
Professional Responsibility, and the clerks of the appropriate courts of the State of
Wyoming.

[¶6]   DATED this 24th day of August, 2016.

                                              BY THE COURT:
