Disposition

Reasons

• Per Timothy L. Garcia, J. (Roderick T. Kennedy, J., and Linda M. Vanzi, J., concurring):
  The Court was unpersuaded by the Defendant's arguments against the sufficiency of the evidence regarding the probation violation. The appellate court, in its memorandum opinion, highlighted the Defendant's failure to present new factual or legal arguments that could challenge the proposed summary disposition favoring the revocation. The Court emphasized the district court's prerogative in weighing witness credibility and resolving testimonial conflicts, noting that the lower court could rely on evidence that contradicted the Defendant's account. Consequently, the appellate court found no error in the district court's proceedings and held that there was sufficient evidence to support the revocation of the Defendant's probation (paras 1-3).
