State v. Bruner

Davis, J.:

This is a direct criminal appeal from a minimum sentence imposed after Clinton Wayne Bruner entered a plea of nolo contendere to the charge of aggravated battery, a class C felony. K.S.A. 21-3414. He appeals from the sentence imposed, claiming that the trial court abused its discretion because it failed to adequately consider K.S.A. 21-4606(2) factors. We raise the issue whether we have jurisdiction to hear what appears to be a direct appeal from a denial of probation. We conclude that we do have jurisdiction and affirm.
