State v. Dorest

Supreme Court of Louisiana
State v. Dorest, 805 So. 2d 132 (La. 2002)
2002 WL 43786

State v. Dorest

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Writ granted; probation revocation reinstated. The district court made a supported finding that by committing a misdemeanor offense relator had violated the mandatory term of probation requiring him to “refrain from criminal conduct.” La.C.Cr.P. art. 895(A). In the circumstances presented, that finding justified the court’s exercise of its discretion to revoke probation under La.C.Cr.P. art. *133900(A)(5) as a sanction when the court determines that “the defendant has violated ... a condition of probation,” La. C.Cr.P. art. 900(A), without the need for a misdemeanor conviction under La.C.Cr.P. art. 901(A).
