P. v. Cheesman
Appellant pled no contest to charges in two separate informations filed against her in 2005; both informations alleged numerous narcotics violations. In sentencing appellant in both cases, the trial court placed her on probation for a term of three years. In May 2006, appellant was arraigned on charges filed in a third case, also involving alleged drug-related offenses, and was also charged with violating the terms of her probation in the two 2005 cases. After she admitted both of those violations, the court revoked her probation, sentenced her to two consecutive midterms on the two 2005 cases, and dismissed the charges in the 2006 information. Via this appeal, appellant claims the trial court (1) violated the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) in revoking her probation because she could not enter a particular substance abuse program due to a medical condition, (2) erred in sentencing her to the mid-terms, and (3) erred in imposing consecutive sentences. Court reject all of appellants claims and thus affirm the judgment, the sentence imposed, and the orders revoking probation.
