ORDER.

The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility has filed a petition for disciplinary action alleging that respondent Daniel L.M. Kennedy committed professional misconduct warranting public discipline — namely, bringing frivolous claims and violating court orders in a bankruptcy matter, see Minn. R. Prof. Conduct 3.1. 3.4(c), 3.4(d), and 8.4(d), and engaging in representation despite a conflict of interest, see Minn. R. Prof. Conduct 1.7(a)(2). In a stipulation for discipline, respondent unconditionally admitted the allegations of the petition, except for one paragraph; waived his procedural rights under Rule 14, Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility (RLPR); and with the Director recommended that the appropriate discipline is a public reprimand, .

Based upon all the flies, records, and proceedings herein,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. Respondent Daniel L.M. Kennedy is publicly reprimanded; and

2. Respondent shall pay $900 in costs pursuant to Rule 24, RLPR.

BY THE COURT:
