    Dated January 15, 2019.
    ORDER OF DISBARMENT
   In a letter signed by the respondent on December 25, 2018, addressed to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts, respondent Thomas J. Robinson, 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 (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 267).

On September 18, 2018, the respondent was temporarily suspended in Kansas in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 203(c) (2019 Kan. S. Ct. R. 240), as a result of respondent's convictions of aggravated assault in Maricopa County, Arizona, in violation of A.R.S. §§ 13-1204 and 13-3601, a class 3 felony and a domestic violence offense.

R. 387) (professional misconduct).
