The court further ordered Allyson Christman, the then Director of Personnel and now Chief Human Resource Officer, in the Office of Judicial Administration, to monitor Judge Cullins' compliance with the Plan. Finally, the court ordered that Judge Cullins would remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan until the court formally discharged him upon his demonstration of his successful compliance with the Plan's terms in a motion to lift the suspension. In re Cullins , 313 Kan. 658, 487 P.3d 374 (2021).

The court has considered and grants Judge Cullins' motion to lift the suspension and fully and unconditionally discharges Judge Cullins from the terms and conditions of the Plan.

The court further directs that this order be published in the official Kansas Reports.
