MEMORANDUM OPINION

After granting the appellant Watco Companies, Inc.'s petition for review of an opinion by the Court of Appeals, this court heard oral argument on March 8, 2018. On March 9, 2018, this court issued an order directing the parties to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction. The appellant's responses are noted. The appellees did not respond. Having reviewed the record on file and the pleadings before this court, we conclude that the appellate courts have jurisdiction over this matter.

Having examined the opinion by the Court of Appeals and having considered the parties' arguments before this court, we determine the petition was improvidently granted. The Court of Appeals disposition of this case is final. See Rule 8.03(i)(1) (2018 Kan. S. Ct. R. 53).

Petition for review improvidently granted.
