Wright v. Commonwealth

Court of Appeals of Virginia

1Opinion of the Court

COLE, Senior Judge.

Arnold Ainley Wright, III (appellant), appeals from a July 31, 1998 order of the Chesterfield County Circuit Court (trial court) revoking his suspended sentence and sentencing him to five years in prison with two years re-suspended for five years. He contends the trial court lacked jurisdiction to revoke the suspended sentence. He further asserts that the trial court improperly sentenced him to five years in prison when he had already served twelve months of his original five-year sentence. Finding no error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
