STATE of Kansas, Appellee, v. Jonathan A. JONES, Appellant.
Appeal from Lyon District Court; Jeffry J. Larson, Judge.
Submitted for summary disposition pursuant to K.S.A.2012 Supp. 21–6820(g) and (h).
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Jonathan A. Jones filed a motion for summary disposition of his sentencing appeal pursuant to K.S.A.2012 Supp. 21–6820(g) and (h). The State responded, asking this court to dismiss Jones' presumptive sentence issue and affirm Jones' sentences. We have reviewed the record on appeal and find no error in the sentences imposed by the district court.
Jones first contends the use of his criminal history for sentencing purposes in district court case No. 11CR167, without putting it to a jury and proving it beyond a reasonable doubt, increased the maximum possible penalty for his primary offense of attempted second-degree reckless murder in violation of Apprendi v.. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). This issue has already been decided adversely to Jones and is without merit. See State v. Ivory, 273 Kan. 44, 46–47, 41 P.3d 781 (2002).
Jones also contends the district court abused its discretion by denying his request for a downward dispositional and/or durational sentencing departure. The district court sentenced Jones to presumptive terms of imprisonment for his convictions. We are without jurisdiction to consider this issue. See K.S.A.2012 Supp. 21–6820(c)(l) (appellate court shall not review any sentence within the presumptive sentencing range for the crime); State v. Huerta, 291 Kan. 831, 837, 247 P.3d 1043 (2011) (reaffirming that K.S.A. 21–4721[c][1] eliminates appeals of presumptive sentences).
Affirmed in part and dismissed in part pursuant to Rule 7.041a (2012 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 62).
