Heading: The Extended Postrelease Supervision Period

Text: Cullen argues that his extended postrelease supervision period violates Apprendi and Gould. We disagree. This issue is controlled by State v. Walker, 275 Kan. 46, 60 P.3d 937 (2003). Cullen pled guilty to a statutorily defined sexually violent crime. His extended postrelease supervision period imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 22-3717(d)(1)(D)(i) does not offend Apprendi and Gould. We vacate Cullen's upward durational departure sentence for attempted rape and remand for resentencing within the statutory range. We affirm Cullen's extended postrelease supervision period.
