Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Borders

August 7, 2026

Summary

The Supreme Court of Kansas exercised its inherent authority to correct its own prior opinion and mandate in this case, deleting the erroneous language that had reversed Borders' convictions and substituting language that reversed only the denial of her presentencing motions and vacated her sentence pending a new withdrawal hearing. Because the convictions were never reversed, the district court correctly treated them as intact on remand, and Borders' derivative speedy-trial and re-plea claims failed. The court further held the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying her presentence motion to withdraw her plea, finding none of the three Edgar factors favored withdrawal. No separate opinions were filed.
