P. v. Anderson
Defendant appeals from an order revoking his probation and sentencing him to four years in prison. Defendant's principal contention on appeal is that his due process rights were violated because the People's motion to revoke his probation did not provide him with sufficient written notice of the charges against him. He also contends that he was entitled to a separate written statement of the trial court's reasons for revoking his probation and that the trial court should have released to him the complaining witness's psychiatric records.
Court conclude that the documents attached to the People's motion to revoke provided Anderson with constitutionally adequate notice of the charges against him. Court further conclude that the written reporter's transcript of the trial court's ruling on the motion to revoke satisfies the requirement that Anderson receive a written statement of reasons. Finally, court find no error in the trial court's refusal to release the complaining witness's confidential psychiatric records. Accordingly, court affirm the judgment.
