P. v. Cooley
On March 5, 2007, defendant Thornton Lester Cooley pleaded no contest to possession of cocaine. Imposition of sentence was suspended, defendant was placed on probation for three years, and ordered to enroll in drug treatment pursuant to Proposition 36. On March 20 and May 9, 2007, defendant admitted violating terms of his probation by failing to report for the drug treatment program. He was reinstated to Proposition 36 treatment both times. On May 18, 2007, the probation officer again filed a petition alleging that defendant had failed to report for Proposition 36 treatment as ordered. Following a contested hearing conducted July 16, the court sustained the petition and imposed a two-year state prison term. The court also imposed restitution fines of $200 in accordance with Penal Code sections 1202.4 and 1202.45, as well as $135 for laboratory fee analysis.
The judgment is affirmed.
