1Opinion of the CourtBart F. Virden, Judge

liThe Faulkner County Circuit Court revoked appellant James Geeslin’s suspended sentence upon finding that he had violated the conditions of his suspension by possessing a firearm. He was sentenced to twenty years’ imprisonment. Geeslin raises two arguments on appeal: (1) the trial court had no authority to revoke his suspended sentence because there was no proof that he had received statutory notice of the conditions, and (2) the trial court should have stayed the revocation proceedings until after the adjudication of the related federal gun charges. We affirm.
