Disposition

Reasons
-
MEDINA, Judge, HANISEE, Judge, and IVES, Judge, concurring: The Court considered the Defendant's memorandum in opposition but found it unpersuasive, affirming the district court's decision to revoke probation. The Court highlighted that if there is sufficient evidence to support just one violation of probation conditions, the district court's order is proper (para 2). The Defendant's memorandum in opposition did not introduce any new facts, law, or arguments that could persuade the Court that the notice of proposed disposition was erroneous. Instead, it reiterated points made in the docketing statement without addressing the Court's analysis, failing to meet the requirement to specifically point out errors of law and fact (paras 2-4).
