State v. Jones
Louisiana Court of Appeal
1Opinion of the Court
CANNELLA, Judge.
Defendant, Marilyn Jones, .appeals from a judgment revoking her probation. Although there is no right of appeal from a revocation proceeding, we exercise our right to maintain the matter under our supervisory jurisdiction, treating the motion for appeal as an application for supervisory writs. See: State v. Norwood, 587 So.2d 75 (La.App. 5th Cir.1991). We affirm the judgment of the trial court on the basis that the defendant failed to make bona fide efforts to pay the fine and probation fee even after the trial judge extended the time period to make the payments.
