Case Number: A-16403
Decided: 05/05/1971
Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals

Appeal from the District Court of Oklahoma County; A.P. Van Meter, Judge.

Elwoodrow Wilson Brooks plead guilty to the offense of Larceny of an Automobile; received a four year suspended sentence, said sentence was ordered revoked, and from said order of revocation, he appeals. Affirmed.

Don Anderson, Public Defender, for Plaintiff in error.

Larry Derryberry, Atty. Gen., Paul Crowe, Legal Intern, for defendant in error.

BUSSEY, Presiding Judge.

¶1 Elwoodrow Wilson Brooks, hereinafter referred to as defendant, entered a plea of guilty in the District Court of Oklahoma County to the offense of Larceny of an Automobile, and received a four year suspended sentence on October 4, 1968, said suspended sentence was ordered revoked on July 8, 1970, and from said Order of Revocation, a timely appeal has been perfected to this Court.

¶2 The sole proposition before this Court contends that the judgment and sentence does not state any court-imposed conditions of the suspension, but provides that it "shall be and is suspended pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Corrections Act of 1967, and pursuant to the rules of the Department of Corrections of the State of Oklahoma." The defendant cites In re Collyar, Okl.Cr., 476 P.2d 354, wherein this Court has two prime considerations: Had the defendant been adequately advised of the conditions of suspension by the Court, and had the defendant, in fact, violated the conditions of suspension? In that case there was no record made of the revocation hearing wherein this Court could ascertain that the defendant had, in fact, violated an infraction of the suspended sentence, if any such existed.

¶3 In the instant case the defendant's suspended sentence was ordered revoked after being found guilty of the crime of Assault with a Deadly Weapon with Intent to Kill, After Former Conviction of a Felony.

¶4 Affirmed.

NIX and BRETT, JJ., concur.
