       In a letter signed June 30, 2016, addressed to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts,
respondent Daniel J. Arkell, an attorney admitted to practice law in Kansas, voluntarily
surrendered his license to practice law in Kansas, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 217

       At the time the respondent surrendered his license, five complaints had been
docketed by the office of the Disciplinary Administrator for investigation. The

4.4 (2015 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 632) (transaction with persons other than clients); and
8.4(b), (c), (d), and (g) (2015 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 672) (misconduct).

       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Appellate Courts strike the name of
Daniel J. Arkell from the roll of attorneys licensed to practice law in Kansas.


       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this order shall be published in the Kansas Reports,
that the costs herein shall be assessed to the respondent, and that the respondent forthwith
shall comply with Supreme Court Rule 218 (2015 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 401).


       Dated this 7th day of July, 2016.
