ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT
On June 20, 2023, the court transferred Ronald Schneider's Kansas law license to

Kan. S. Ct. R. at 303).
On October 10, 2025, Schneider filed a petition for reinstatement of his law
license to active status under Supreme Court Rule 234(h) (2025 Kan. S. Ct. R. at 297).
The court ordered the Office of the Disciplinary Administrator (ODA) to investigate
Schneider's petition for reinstatement. The ODA has completed its investigation and
recommends that the court grant Schneider's petition for reinstatement.
The court agrees with the ODA's recommendation, grants the petition for

Schneider must pay the active attorney registration fee for the current licensing
period to the Office of Judicial Administration (OJA) before this reinstatement becomes
