Heading: The Issues Defendant Raises Regarding His Sentence Are Moot.

Text: Torres raises two additional issuesthat he should not have been sentenced as an aggravated habitual sexual offender and that the sentence he received constituted cruel and unusual punishmentthat relate only to his sentence. Because the case is being remanded for a new trial, Torres' convictions and sentences are, of course, set aside. We cannot forecast the result of that new trial, and challenges to Torres' prior sentences are now moot. See State v. Miller, 293 Kan. 46, 54, 259 P.3d 701 (2011); State v. Vaughn, 254 Kan. 191, 205, 865 P.2d 207 (1993). The judgment of the district court is reversed, and this case is remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. DAVIS, C.J., not participating. LEBEN, J., assigned.
