State v. Unruh

[¶1] John Ross Unruh appealed from a district court order revoking his probation and an amended criminal judgment sentencing him to one year of imprisonment with all but 120 days suspended for two years and two years of supervised probation.  Unruh argues the district court improperly sentenced him because his original sentence included suspended time and N.D.C.C. § 12.1-32-07(6) limits resentencing upon revocation to the original sentence in the case of suspended execution of a sentence.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7);  see State v. Lindgren , 483 N.W.2d 777, 778-79 (N.D. 1992) (holding the district court had the authority to resentence a defendant who violated a condition of probation to any sentence that was initially available, and the predecessor to N.D.C.C. § 12.1-32-07(6) did not limit resentencing to the original sentence in the case of suspended execution of the sentence).
