STATE OF KANSAS v. SAMUEL LUCAS PORTLOCK (2023)

Court of Appeals of Kansas.

STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. SAMUEL LUCAS PORTLOCK, Appellant.

No. 124,975

Decided: January 27, 2023

Before CLINE, P.J., ISHERWOOD, J., and PATRICK D. MCANANY, S.J.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Samuel Lucas Portlock claims the district court abused its discretion when it revoked his probation and ordered him to serve his underlying prison sentence. We granted his unopposed motion for summary disposition under Supreme Court Rule 7.041A (2022 Kan. S. Ct. R. at 48).

Portlock admits the district court had the legal authority to revoke his probation since he stipulated to committing a new crime while on probation. See K.S.A. 2021 Supp. 22-3716(c)(7)(C) (permitting revocation when a new crime is committed on probation). Portluck does not argue the district court made any legal or factual error, and we find nothing unreasonable about the district court's decision.

Affirmed.
