Byron T. Wiechman, Appellee v. Mark Huddleston, Appellant

Summary

The court held that the appeal was not moot because the record did not clearly and convincingly establish that the controversy had ended or that a judgment would be ineffectual. It affirmed the Court of Appeals' dismissal because Kansas appellate jurisdiction in civil cases is statutory, and the appellant had not complied with the statutory requirements for an interlocutory appeal. The court overruled the prior judicially created jurisdictional exception for appeals challenging orders granting relief from judgment.
