P. v. Pinckney CA5
Patricia Veronica Pinckney (defendant) appeals from an order revoking probation following a judgment of conviction based upon her plea of nolo contendere and a suspension of the execution of the prison sentence. Defendant, who admitted that she violated the conditions of probation, contends that the trial court’s decision amounted to an abuse of discretion. We reject this contention and affirm the order.
Defendant and Rebecca Lynn Reagan were jointly charged with first-degree burglary (Pen. Code, § 459 [count I]) and receipt of stolen property (§ 496, subd. (a) [count II]). The information further alleged that defendant served two prior prison terms (§ 667.5, subd. (b)). On September 9, 2014, before Judge Thomas D. Zeff, and pursuant to a plea bargain, defendant pled nolo contendere to count I. She agreed to be sentenced without a formal probation report. The trial court imposed, but suspended execution of, a six-year sentence.
