P. v. Jimenez
Pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement, defendant Jose Jimenez pleaded no contest to a charge of felony evasion of a police officer and was sentenced to the upper term of three years in state prison. The court suspended execution of the sentence, however, and granted probation. Seven and a half months later, defendant was charged with resisting arrest in an unrelated incident, leading to a court finding that defendant had violated the terms of his probation and the revocation of probation. Rather than reinstate it, the court ordered defendant to serve the three-year prison sentence. On appeal, defendant argues two errors: (1) the evidence did not support the probation violation finding; and (2) the trial court abused its discretion in declining to reinstate probation. Court disagree, and affirm.
