C.A. 2nd;
B271406

The Second Appellate District affirmed a trial court order. The court held that a district attorney's parole revocation petition did not need to address the suitability of intermediate sanctions..

In 2013, Raymond Zamudio was convicted of making a criminal threat and sentenced to a two-year prison term. In 2014, he was released on parole. In 2016 he assaulted the mother of his children. The district attorney's office petitioned to revoke Zamudio's parole pursuant to Penal Code §1203.2 and requested issuance of an arrest warrant. The petition for revocation did not include the documentation required under §3000.08 and rule 4.541 of the Cal. Rules of Ct. for a petition filed by the parolee's supervising parole agency, which documentation would include a report on the suitability of imposing intermediate sanctions prior to seeking parole revocation. The trial court found probable cause to support revocation, preliminarily revoked parole pending a full hearing and issued an arrest warrant. Zamudio was remanded into custody.
