State v. Outhet

NOT DESIGNATED FOR PUBLICATION

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS

No. 112,010

STATE OF KANSAS,
Appellee,

v.

WILLIAM J. OUTHET,
Appellant.


MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appeal from Johnson District Court; BRENDA M. CAMERON, judge. Opinion filed November 17,
2017. Petition for review improvidently granted.

Michelle A. Davis, of Kansas Appellate Defender Office, argued the cause and was on the brief
for appellant.

Sara L. Walton, assistant district attorney, argued the cause, and Shawn E. Minihan, assistant
district attorney, Stephen M. Howe, district attorney, Steven J. Obermeier, senior deputy district attorney,
and Derek Schmidt, attorney general, were on the briefs for appellee.

PER CURIAM: We determine that the petition for review in this case was
improvidently granted. This decision is identical in effect to a denial of the petition for
review in the first instance, and a "'denial of a petition for review imports no opinion on
the merits of the case.'" State v. Eisenhour, 305 Kan. 409, 411, 384 P.3d 426 (2016)
(quoting Supreme Court Rule 8.03[g] [2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 56]).

Petition for review improvidently granted.
