In re Diggs

This is an uncontested attorney discipline proceeding involving respondent Donald H. Diggs, of Wichita, an attorney licensed to practice law in Kansas. Respondent is presently serving a seven and one-half year sentence in federal prison in Yankton, South Dakota. After his release from confinement, respondent will be on a supervised release program for five years. Respondent is represented in this action by attorney Stephen Robison of Wichita. By way of an indictment, respondent was charged on December 18, 1991, with two felony counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. A year later, on December 21, 1992, respondent entered a guilty plea to Count I of the indictment and was sentenced to a term of seven and one-half years. The plea was conditioned upon respondent's retaining the right to challenge the federal district court's order denying his motion to dismiss Count I for alleged outrageous government conduct.
