Knapp v. Nelson

Pierron, J.:

Theodore C. Knapp is currently serving two consecutive life sentences for first-degree murder.

On September 12,1996, the Kansas Parole Board (KPB) denied Knapp’s parole and deferred his next parole hearing for 5 years, or until 2001. After more than 30 days from the last action by the KPB, he filed a K.S.A. 60-1501 petition in the district court. The court dismissed the action because Knapp’s petition was filed outside the 30-day hmitation provided in K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 60-1501(b). On appeal, this court affirmed the district court. Knapp v.
