In a letter dated March 9, 2005, addressed to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts, respondent Harry L. Felker of Topeka, Kansas, 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 (2004 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 296).

At the time the respondent surrendered his license, a panel hearing was pending on a formal complaint in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 211 (2004 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 275).
