Reasons

• Per Michael E. Vigil, Chief Judge, with James J.

The Court held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding a violation of state law and affirmed the revocation of the Defendant's probation based on the reasons stated in the calendar notice and the lack of demonstrated error in the district court's decision (paras 1-4).
