"I, Darryl L. Kamin, having read and understood the allegations of the Petition for Disbarment, hereby decline to file an Answer to the Petition. I understand that by declining to file an Answer, the allegations of the Petition will be deemed admitted by default, pursuant to Rule 13(c), Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility. I hereby consent to allowing the allegations of the Petition to be deemed admitted by default, and request that the Court enter an appropriate Order for discipline."
Accordingly, respondent Darryl Kamin is herewith disbarred from the practice of law in the State of Minnesota.
