NOT DESIGNATED FOR PUBLICATION

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS No. 112,939 STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. DEBORAH LYNN WHITE, Appellant.

MEMORANDUM OPINION Review of the judgment of the Court of Appeals in an unpublished opinion filed March 25, 2016.

Appeal from Shawnee District Court; DAVID DEBENHAM, judge. Opinion filed December 22, 2017.

Petition for review improvidently granted.

Meryl Carver-Allmond, of Capital Appellate Defender Office, was on the brief for appellant.

Jodi Litfin, assistant district attorney, Chadwick J. Taylor, district attorney, and Derek Schmidt, attorney general, were on the brief for appellee.

PER CURIAM: We determine that the petition for review in this case was improvidently granted. This decision is identical in effect to a denial of the petition for review in the first instance, and a "'denial of a petition for review imports no opinion on the merits of the case.'" State v. Eisenhour, 305 Kan. 409, 411, 384 P.3d 426 (2016) (quoting Supreme Court Rule 8.03[g] [2017 Kan. S. Ct. R. 56]).

Petition for review improvidently granted.
