Dear Mr. Moore and Mr. Moore:

I have reviewed the letter of complaint received by this office on June 3, 2015.
The letters are largely identical in substance. One letter is from Matt Moore, who
is facing charges in Montgomery County and the other is from Lester Moore,
Matt's father. .

The report was made to the Office of Judicial Qualifications, and copied to our
office, the Office of the Disciplinary Administrator. Many, if not all, of your
allegations refer to alleged violations of the judicial canons. In your final
paragraph you indicate that the complaint was copied to our office because both
of the men are attorneys and "neither Rick Smith nor John Mazurek turned the
other one in for both of their obvious violations of KRPC and Code of Judicial
Conduct". You complain that the judicial officers should have disqualified
themselves from presiding over certain matters. You allege failure to supervise.

Our office does not have the authority to review or investigate alleged violations
of the Code of Judicial Conduct. The allegations of judicial conflict are subject of
review in the Office of Judicial Qualifications. This office would not ordinarily
initiate a disciplinary investigation into the conduct of a judicial officer. In the
event another disciplinary authority concludes that the Kansas Rules of
Professional Conduct and/or the rules related to the discipline of attorneys are
implicated then the matter may be ripe for disciplinary investigation by this, office.
No action will be taken at this time.

Very Truly Yours,

[~
