State v. Hilton
Annotate this CaseAppellant was sentenced to serve two consecutive twelve-month probation terms for her convictions in two separate criminal cases. During the first term, the district court revoked both probations and ordered Appellant to serve her underlying prison sentences. Appellant appealed, claiming that the second probation term had not commenced when she violated the terms of the first probation term, so that the district court erred in sending her to prison on the second case. Appellant completed serving her prison terms before the case could be heard on appeal, and the court of appeals dismissed the appeal as moot. Finding that the issue raised by Appellant was one capable of repetition and of importance, the Supreme Court reversed and remanded to the court of appeals to reinstate the appeal.
