California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Austin, B210694 (Cal. App. 8/25/2009), B210694 (Cal. App. 2009):
As a general rule, if acts that would constitute a violation of probation occur after the probationary term has expired, the court has no jurisdiction to revoke probation and the defendant is entitled to an order discharging him from probation. (People v. Tapia (2001) 91 Cal.App.4th 738, 742.)
