Supreme Judicial Court of Maine.

Decided March 8, 1988.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Paul Aranson, Dist. Atty., Anne B. Judd (orally), Asst. Dist. Atty., Portland, for plaintiff.

Murrough H. O'Brien (orally), Portland, for defendant.

Before McKUSICK, C.J., and NICHOLS, ROBERTS, WATHEN and SCOLNIK, JJ.


ROBERTS, Justice.

Peter B. Thomas appeals from an order of the Superior Court, Cumberland County, finding him in violation of a condition of his probation and revoking his probation pursuant to 17-A M.R.S.A. § 1206 (1983 & Supp.1987). We address only the question whether the absence of any adequate notice to Thomas of his probationary status renders the revocation invalid. We conclude that it does and therefore vacate the order of revocation.
