S TATE OF K ANSAS , Appellee ,

v.

J AMES G ARRETT J OHNSON , Appellant.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appeal from Miami District Court; A MY L. H ARTH , judge. Opinion filed February 19 , 2021. Affirmed in part and dismissed in part.

Submitted by the parties for summary disposition pursuant to K.S.A. 2020 Supp. 21

- 6820(g) and (h).

Before B USER , P.J., A TCHESON and S CHROEDER , JJ.

P ER C URIAM : James Garret t Johnson appeals his Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Act (KSGA) , K.S.A. 2020 Supp. 21

- 6801 et seq. , sentence for violating the Kansas
O ffender R egistration A ct (KORA) , K.S.A. 22

- 4901 et seq

. Johnson argues the distri ct

court (1) violated his constitutional rights to determine his criminal history and (2) should have sentenced him to probation. We granted Johnson's motion for summary disposition in lieu of briefs under Supreme Court Rule 7.041A (2020 Kan. S. Ct. R. 47). After a review of the record, we find the first issue is controlled by State v. Ivory , 273 Kan. 44, 41 P.3d 781 (2002) , and the district court did not err. We also find we have no jurisdiction over his second argument. Therefore, we affirm in part and dismiss in part.2 Johnson pled guilty as charged to violating KORA by failing to register as a sex
offender

. At sentencing , Johnson asked the district court to sentence him to probation
because he had recently made efforts to improve his life. The distric t court, however, denied Johnson's request , finding this crime was committed while he was on probation in another felony case

. The district court then sentenc ed Johnson to 20 months' imprisonment followed by 24 months' postrelease supervision , which was Jo hnson's presumptive sentence under the KSGA

. The district court imposed this sentence
consecutive to Johnson ' s other felony case.

O n appeal , Johnson makes two arguments

. First, Johnson argues the district court violated his constitutional rights under Apprendi v. New Jersey , 530 U.S. 466, 120 S. Ct. 2348, 147 L. Ed 2d 435 (2000), when the district court relied on his criminal history to sentence him without first requiring his criminal history to be proven to a j ury beyond a
reasonable doubt. Second, Johnson argues the district court should have sentenced him to probation as he requested given his recent efforts to improve himself. Johnson ' s argument s are not persuasive. Our Supreme Court has previously rejected b oth

.

In Ivory , 273 Kan. at 45

- 48 , our Supreme Court held the Apprendi rule does not apply when a district court imposes the defendant's presumptive sentence under the
KSGA

. Here, it is undisputed J ohnson received a standard presumptive sentence under the KSGA. Because we are duty

- bound to follow our Supreme Court 's precedent, Johnson's argument that h is rights under Apprendi were violated fails. See State v. Meyer , 51 Kan. App. 2d 1066, 1072, 360 P.3d 467 (2015)

.

A s for Johnson's contention the district court should have sentenced him to probation, we lack jurisdiction to review any defendant's challenge to a presumptive
KSGA sentence. See K.S.A. 2020 Supp. 21

- 6820(c)(1); State v. Sprung , 294 Kan. 300, 317, 277 P.3d 1100 (2012). Again, in this case, it is undisputed the district court
sentenced Johnson to the standard presumptive sentence under the KSGA based on his3 criminal history

. We therefore lack jurisdiction to consider Johnson's argument he should
have bee n granted probation

.

Affirmed in part and dismissed in part.
