UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
IN THE MATTER OF:
Administrative Order No. 21-AD-062
ATTORNEY KENNETH B. MORGAN
(P34492).
-----------------
Pursuant to Administrative Order 2 l-AD-044 and the Order dated July 16, 2021, the
undersigned panel convened on September 8, 2021, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to permit Attorney
Kenneth B. Morgan to formally respond to the allegations of the Hon. Phillip J. Green that Mr.
Morgan's conduct in connection with S&S Innovations Corp. v. UUSI, LLC, et al., Case No. I:18-
cv-1377-HYJ (the "S&S Case"), warrants suspension or revocation of the privilege of practicing
before this Court, or other discipline. The Hon. Raia Y. Jarbou previously held Mr. Morgan in
contempt, 1 and Judge Green's allegations in his referral letter to the Hon. Robert J. Jonker raise
serious questions about the attorney's continued fitness to practice here.
In advance of the hearing, the panel considered the two Report-Recommendations entered
in the S&S Case (ECF Nos. 94 and 134, the "R&Rs"), detailing the allegations that Mr. Morgan
violated M.R.P.C. 1.3, 3.2, 3.3(a)(l), 3.4(c), and 8.4(c), as well as Mr. Morgan's Declaration in
Compliance with Order of July 16, 2021 (the "Declaration"). The R&Rs and Judge Green's referral
letter, largely confirmed in the Declaration, catalogue Mr. Morgan's numerous missed court dates,
lapses in meeting discovery and case-related filing deadlines, and general discourtesy and lack of
1 See Orders dated March 5, 2021 (ECF No. 109) and April 30, 2021 (ECF No. 157, collectively the "Contempt
Orders"), entered in the S&S Case.
