Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Unruh

March 21, 2025565 P.3d 825

Summary

The court held that the Court of Appeals abused its discretion by reaching the merits of Unruh's unpreserved procedural due process challenges to offender registration. Because Unruh did not develop below what protected liberty or property interest was implicated, the appellate record was insufficient to resolve his claims under an exception to the preservation rule. The court therefore affirmed the Court of Appeals and district court judgments on the ground that the claims were not amenable to appellate review.
