THIS IS A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE and Derek Schmidt,
Stephen Phillips, and Dennis Depew
Case Number 15CV79P in Crawford County District Court

Dear Investigative

Committee:

This is a complaint against attorney's Derek Schmidt, Stephen Phillips, and Dennis-Depew at the
address of 120 SW 10th Avenue, 2nd Floor in Topeka Ks 66612. I signed a grand jury petition at the
beginning of 2015 to oust the 11thdistrict court judges and Lori Fleming sent an email to stop an
advertisement

on the radio. I sent a complaint to the attorney general's office in June of 2014 and I

never got a response back from this office. I also sent my complaint to the Kansas Commission on
Judicial Qualifications

and it got docketed in The Matter of Lori A. Bolton Fleming in docket number

1245 and I have included the response for evidence.

What I find extremely unethical is not only did the attorney general's office never respond to my
complaint but they also chose to represent the same lady I complained on in case number 15CV79P a
class action injunction in Crawford County District Court who is Lori Fleming.

How can the

attorney general's office represent public officials if this is the same place us people are suppose to

The Kansas Legislature currently is involved in a lawsuit against the district

judges which threatened to challenge the constitutionality of this year's judicial budget bill
which include Larry Solomon chief judge of 30th district, Meryl Wilson chief judge of 21 st
judicial district, Robert Fairchild, chief judge of 7thjudicial district, and leffry lack 11th
judicial district court judge and I am confused why The Attorney General's Office defends
[effry Jack in case number 1SCV79Pin Crawford County but then the attorney general's
office is the attorney against Ieffry Jack on the state's court funding bill case.where [effry
lack is represented by private attorney Pedro lrogonegaray. The fact that the attorney
general's office is representing Jeffry Jack in one case and going against him in another
violates numerous rules of Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct which include KRPCRule
1.6 Confidentiality of Information( a)(b). KRPCRule Conflict of Interest
1.7(a)(1)(2)(b )(1)(2), KRPCRule 1.8(a)(1)(2)(3)(b ) (c)(d)( e)(t)(1)(2)(3)(g)(h)(Oo)
complain to?

Conflict of Interest Prohibited Transactions, KRPCRule 1.9(a) (b) Conflict of Interest

Former Client, and KRPCRule 1.10(a)(b)(c)(1)(2)(d) Imputed Disqualification. The
attorney General's office has violated Chapter 7S Article 7 duties of Attorney General by
representing Jeffry Jack in case number 2015CV79P when they should have had to retain a
private attorney like [effry Jack just had to in his lawsuit against the legislature in Kansas
where he retained attorney Pedro lrogonegarav.
