Is a probation report's citation of out-of-state convictions sufficient to revoke a defendant's probation?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Bonilla, B225177 (Cal. App. 2012):

Even before the availability of computerized databases, a probation report's citation of out-of-state convictions was deemed a proper basis for probation revocation. In People v. Natividad (1963) 222 Cal.App.2d 438, the appellate court concluded that the defendant's probation was properly revoked upon the report of the probation officer that after the defendant was released from jail, he sustained convictions in a different county in California, Virginia, and Nevada. (Id. at p. 442.)
