P. v. McChristian CA3
Defendant James O. McChristian pleaded no contest to being a felon in possession of a firearm in exchange for a two-year state prison sentence lid and dismissal of the remaining charge and two pending cases. The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on a three-year term of probation. After an admitted violation, the court imposed a two-year prison sentence and suspended execution, reinstating probation. After finding a second violation, the court ordered the two-year sentence executed.
Defendant appeals, contending the trial court abused its discretion by executing the previously suspended two-year prison sentence. In defendant’s view, the court mistakenly believed it lacked discretion to reinstate his probation after the second revocation. Disagreeing, we shall affirm.
