Reasons

  • Per Michael E. Vigil, J. (Jonathan B. Sutin, J., and Roderick T. Kennedy, J., concurring):
    The appellate court issued a notice of proposed summary disposition, suggesting affirming the probation revocation but reversing and remanding the sentence due to a Linam sequencing issue. The Defendant opposed the analysis on the revocation but did not provide new evidence or arguments. Both parties agreed with the proposal to reverse and remand the sentence for correction. Based on the lack of new arguments against the revocation and the agreement on the sentencing issue, the court decided to affirm the revocation and reverse and remand the sentence for further proceedings.
