made against him. he further stated that he freely, know-
ingly, and voluntarily surrendered his privilege to practice law
in the State of Nebraska. Respondent further stated that he
freely, knowingly, and voluntarily waived his right to notice,
appearance, or hearing prior to the entry of an order of dis-
barment and consented to the entry of an immediate order
of disbarment.
ANAlYSIS
Neb. Ct. R. § 3-315 of the disciplinary rules provides in
pertinent part:
(A) Once a Grievance, a Complaint, or a Formal Charge
has been filed, suggested, or indicated against a member,
the member may voluntarily surrender his or her license.
(1) The voluntary surrender of license shall state in
writing that the member knowingly admits or knowingly
does not challenge or contest the truth of the suggested
or indicated Grievance, Complaint, or Formal Charge
and waives all proceedings against him or her in connec-
tion therewith.
Pursuant to § 3-315 of the disciplinary rules, we find that
respondent has voluntarily surrendered his license to practice
law and knowingly does not challenge or contest the truth
of the allegations made against him. Further, respondent has
waived all proceedings against him in connection therewith.
We further find that respondent has consented to the entry of
an order of disbarment.

tary surrender of his license to practice law, finds that respond-
ent should be disbarred, and hereby orders him disbarred from

diately. Respondent shall forthwith comply with all terms of
