P. v. Dickenson
In 2005 Allen Burt Dickenson entered a negotiated guilty plea to possession of a firearm by a felon (Pen. Code, 12021, subd. (a)(1)). The plea bargain called for a low term lid of 16 months. The trial court suspended sentence and granted Dickenson probation for three years, conditioned on, among other things, he serve 365 days in jail.
In 2007 Dickenson's probation was revoked for failure to pay fines and failure to report to his probation officer. Dickenson admitted violating probation by not reporting to his probation officer. The court formally revoked Dickenson's probation and then reinstated probation under the same terms and conditions until February 8, 2010. The court committed Dickenson to jail for 270 days and gave him credit for serving 216 actual days. Dickenson waived past, present and future Penal Code section 4019 credits.
