Does a judge have any authority to issue a written statement of the reasons for revoking probation?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Fernhoff, 849 F.2d 1476 (9th Cir. 1988):
Fernhoff further claims that he received no written statement of the evidence that the court relied on and the reasons for revoking probation. The purpose of such statements is to provide an adequate record for review on appeal. We have held that where the district court has made an oral statement on the record of its reasons, and the grounds for revocation are clear, due process is satisfied. United States v. Rilliet, 595 F.2d 1138, 1140 (9th Cir.1979) (per curiam).
