State v. Morgan
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed the decision of the court of appeals affirming the trial court's judgment revoking Defendant's probation after his probation period expired without making a finding of fact that good caused existed to do so under the circumstances, holding that such a finding is statutorily required.
Specifically at issue was whether the court of appeals erred by affirming the trial court's revoking of Defendant's probation without making a specific finding that good cause existed to do so despite the expiration of Defendant's probationary period. The Supreme Court concluded that the court of appeals did so err, holding that the trial court's order failed to comply with N.C. Gen. Stat. 15A-1344(f)(3) by activating Defendant's sentences without first making a finding of good cause to revoke Defendant's probation despite the expiration of his probationary term.
