                         UNPUBLISHED OPINION

CONNOLLY, Judge

       Appellant challenges the revocation of his probation, arguing that the district court

abused its discretion by revoking his probation because his attendance at the treatment

program from which he was discharged had not been ordered by the district court.

Because we see no abuse of discretion, we affirm.

                                         FACTS

       In July 2012, appellant Prince Lashone Holt pleaded guilty to a December 2011

violation of a Domestic Abuse No Contact Order (DANCO) and to an April 2012 felony

domestic assault. In October 2012, appellant was sentenced to 30 months, stayed, for the

assault and to 33 months, stayed, for the DANCO violation, to run consecutively. He

was placed on probation; conditions included 365 days in the workhouse and following

the recommendations of a chemical assessment.            Because the chemical assessment

recommended in-patient treatment and aftercare, appellant was furloughed to the

Professional Counseling Center (PCC) for treatment.

       In December 2012, appellant violated a condition of his probation by failing to

return to PCC. In January 2013, he was arrested on charges of loitering with intent and

possession of drug paraphernalia. Following a hearing, his furlough was revoked, and he

was ordered to the workhouse to complete the 365 days, with a furlough to complete

treatment when a place became available. In February 2013, he was furloughed to the

Recovery Resource Center (RRC); in March, he was discharged from RRC for having a

positive drug test and leaving without staff approval.


                                             2
       In April 2013, the district court revoked appellant’s probation and executed the

aggregate 63-month prison sentence. The district court inadvertently sentenced appellant

on the April 2012 felony domestic assault before sentencing him on the December 2011

DANCO violation. Appellant moved for modification of his sentence, which respondent

State of Minnesota (the state) agreed was appropriate. The district court then resentenced

appellant first to 33 months in prison on the DANCO violation, then to a year and a day

on the domestic assault, to be served consecutively.

       Appellant challenges the revocation of his probation, arguing that the district court

abused its discretion because the probation condition appellant violated was not a

condition imposed by the district court.1

                                      DECISION

       A district court “has broad discretion in determining if there is sufficient evidence

to revoke probation and should be reversed only if there is a clear abuse of that

discretion.”   State v. Austin, 

 (Minn. 1980).              In revoking

probation, a district court must designate the specific condition or conditions alleged to

have been violated, find that the violation was intentional or inexcusable, and find that

the need for confinement outweighs the policies favoring probation. 

. The

district court made the requisite findings in an exceptionally detailed and well-written

opinion.

                      [Appellant] . . . violated the terms of his probation for
               failure to successfully complete treatment on six different

1
  We have considered the issues raised in appellant’s pro se supplemental brief and find
them to be without merit.

                                              3
occasions between 2003 and 2008. His continuing refusal to
comply with the terms of his probation, coupled with his
continued use of controlled substances creates significant
concerns for the public at large.
       . . . Chemical dependency is not the reason for this
[c]ourt’s decision to revoke [appellant’s] probation. In this
case, this Court believes the central issue is one of non-
compliance with probation. [Appellant’s] repeated failure to
successfully complete treatment and aftercare has led to
escalating criminal activity, and in turn, an increased risk to
public safety. . . . [F]or those reasons, this Court believes that
confinement is necessary to protect the public from further
criminal activity by [appellant].
       . . . [Appellant] has twelve felony convictions and
numerous more misdemeanor convictions on his record.
Although [he] has been placed on felony probation in the
past, he has never successfully completed a felony
probationary term. In addition, [he] has been ordered to
complete some sort of treatment program on more than
twenty occasions.
       . . . [O]ver the strenuous objections of the State, this
Court gave [appellant] yet another opportunity to return to
and successfully complete treatment rather than going to
prison. [He] was furloughed . . . on February 19, and he
responded to the Court’s leniency and faith in him by
absconding from the treatment facility once on February 27,
2013, and then for a final time only six days later, on
March 5, 2013.
       ....
       [Appellant] has blatantly demonstrated that he is not
amenable to probation by continually failing to abide by the
terms and conditions placed upon him [by] this Court;
specifically [his] continuing and repeated failure to attend and
successfully complete treatment and after-care. [Appellant]
has consciously and intentionally ignored or disregarded
repeated court orders, as well as his probation officer’s rules.
[Appellant’s] choices are not a series of technical violations
of a probationary sentence, but one of an individual clearly
demonstrating anti-social behavior and a lack of respect for
the laws and rules of our society.




                                4
       Appellant argues that the condition that he complete treatment at RCC was not

actually imposed by the court. Appellant’s only legal support for this argument is an

unpublished decision of this court and has no precedential value.           See Minn. Stat.

§ 480A.08, subd. 3 (2012).2 This court does not address allegations unsupported by legal

analysis or citation. Ganguli v. Univ. of Minn., 

, 919 n.1 (Minn. App.

1994). Therefore, the issue is not properly before us.

       Appellant argues in the alternative that, while the district court mandated the Rule

25 evaluation that led to his treatment at PCC, the district court did not mandate the

evaluation that led to his treatment at RCC. But, at the first hearing, the district court not

only revoked appellant’s furlough and ordered him to the workhouse for the remainder of

the 365 days; it also said, “I will authorize another furlough for you to go into the group

sober housing . . . with . . . mental health care . . . as soon as possible. . . . And you are

ordered to successfully complete the treatment – or the aftercare you’re going to be doing

there and the mental health part of it.” Appellant agreed to these terms.

       He went to the workhouse, and his probation officer looked for an appropriate

facility that would provide both chemical-dependency treatment and mental-health

treatment. The probation officer testified that, to get funding at such a facility, “a

chemical health assessment was needed, and [appellant] was referred to [RCC] which

could provide both the structure and support based on the assessor’s recommendation.”


2
  In any event, that case, State v. Behr, No. A04-0571, 

 (Minn. App.
Dec. 14, 2004), is distinguishable because the district court here explicitly ordered
appellant to have a Rule 25 evaluation, while the district court in Behr declined to order
the evaluation and left the decision to a probation officer. See 

, at *2.

                                              5
But the district court, not the probation officer, imposed the requirement that appellant

receive and complete treatment for his chemical-dependency and mental-health issues;

RCC was selected because it provided both the chemical-dependency treatment and the

mental-health treatment the district court ordered. Thus, appellant’s positive drug test

while at RCC, his leaving RCC without approval, and his failure to complete RCC’s

program were violations of a probation condition imposed by the district court.

      Affirmed.
