Description
This is an original proceeding in discipline
filed by the disciplinary administrator against Patrick E.
McKenna, of Kingman, Kansas, an attorney duly admitted to the
practice of law in Kansas. A hearing panel of the Kansas Board
for Discipline of Attorneys unanimously found a violation of
Model Rules of Professional Conduct 8.4(d) and (g), Supreme Court
Rule 226 (1990 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 290), in that respondent's
conduct was prejudicial to the administration of justice and
adversely reflects on his fitness to practice law. The facts as stipulated to by the parties were accepted by the
panel and are included within the panel's report. No exceptions
to the report were filed. Briefly summarized, the facts are that
a search warrant was executed at respondent's residence based
upon the belief that marijuana plants were being cultivated on
respondent's property. Marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and a vial
containing cocaine residue were seized pursuant to the search
warrant. Eighty growing marijuana plants were also seized.
Subsequent investigation revealed that the plants were not
growing on property owned by respondent. Respondent was charged
with possession of marijuana with the intent to sell, possession
of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, possession of
cocaine, and unlawful use of weapons. The district court ruled
that the evidence seized from respondent's home was inadmissible.
This ruling applied only to evidence seized inside respondent's
residence. Respondent denied knowledge of the existence of the
growing marijuana plants, and a statement was obtained from an
individual
