Supreme Court of Kansas

King v. Schwert

May 22, 2026

Summary

The Kansas Supreme Court held that the district court's November 2023 dismissal order was an adjudication on the merits and became a final, appealable judgment when the court dismissed the remaining claims in June 2024. Accordingly, the Court of Appeals lacked jurisdiction to dismiss King’s appeal, so the Supreme Court reversed that dismissal and remanded for further proceedings.
