"In the Final Hearing Report, the panel made the following conclusions and recommendations.

"CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
"1. Kan. Sup. Ct. R. 202 details the 'grounds for discipline,' in pertinent part, as follows:

'A certificate of a conviction of an attorney for any crime or of a civil judgment based on clear and convincing evidence shall be conclusive evidence of the commission of that crime or civil wrong in any disciplinary proceeding instituted against said attorney based upon the conviction or judgment. A diversion agreement, for the purposes of any disciplinary proceeding, shall be deemed a conviction of the crimes originally charged. All other civil judgments shall be prima facie evidence of the findings made therein and shall raise a presumption as to their validity. The burden shall be on the respondent to disprove the findings made in the civil judgment.'

"2. KRPC 8.4(b) provides that '[i]t is professional misconduct for a lawyer to . . . commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer in other respects.' Id. The Hearing Panel concludes that the Respondent violated KRPC 8.4(b) by committing the criminal act of domestic battery."

The panel then formulated its recommendation for discipline as follows: "

"A unanimous panel report shall be deemed a final hearing report and shall be filed, served, and acted upon as hereinafter provided.
If the panel cannot agree unanimously on either the findings of fact, or the recommended discipline to be imposed, or both, the majority shall prepare and file a majority report. The minority member shall file a minority report. Thereupon the majority and minority reports shall be considered final reports, and both such reports, if either recommends discipline by the Supreme Court, shall be submitted to the Supreme Court for consideration and disposition pursuant to Rule 212."
