P. v. Gordon CA3
Defendant Chic Gordon appeals from her conviction of failing to maintain control of a dangerous animal causing serious bodily injury, a felony. (Pen. Code, § 399, subd. (b).) Initially, the trial court suspended sentence and placed defendant on formal probation for 36 months. The court also awarded victim restitution to the Butte County Animal Control (Animal Control) in the amount of $1,710 to reimburse the agency its costs of impounding defendant’s dogs after they injured the victim. Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal. Less than three months later, the district attorney filed a petition to revoke probation. He later withdrew the petition when defendant declined to be on probation any longer and requested to be sentenced. The trial court sentenced defendant to state prison for the middle term of two years. It also reaffirmed its earlier victim restitution order.
