State v. McDuffie

Opinion

SCHALLER, J.

The defendant, Nathaniel McDuffie, appeals from the judgment of the trial court revoking his probation and sentencing him to a term of imprisonment. The principal issue on appeal is whether the trial judge was required to recuse himself, sua sponte, from the March 4, 1996 revocation proceeding because he had heard the defendant admit in open court on January 31, 1996, that the defendant had failed two drug tests while on probation. Because the defendant failed to preserve the issue for appeal and because we find no plain error, we affirm the judgment.
