1Opinion of the Court
Rees, J.:
Brett L. Rucas appeals from a summary adjudication of direct contempt and the sentence imposed. K.S.A. 20-1203. The underlying facts are relatively straightforward. Two issues are raised. One requires particular attention; its resolution obviates any need to address the other.
By a single count information, it was charged that Rucas and Jeffrey Rhea committed an aggravated robbery (K.S.A. 21-3427) on December 10, 1985.
On the morning of March 3, 1986, Rucas pleaded guilty to the charge; his sentencing was set for April 17, 1986, and a presentence investigation report was ordered.
