Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Ross

June 10, 2022511 P.3d 290

Summary

The Kansas Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s denial of Ross’s post‑conviction claim, holding that K.S.A. 22‑3201 is not a procedural vehicle for challenging subject‑matter jurisdiction and that a defective charging document cannot be raised in a motion to correct an illegal sentence under K.S.A. 22‑3504. The court reasoned Ross failed to identify a timely, unexhausted, proper procedural mechanism for his jurisdiction challenge.
