How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding—in the deferred judgment context—that before a court may revoke probation for failure to pay restitution, it must find the defendant had the ability to pay
• explaining that the Romero court reversed because “there was nothing in the record to support the [district] court’s findings that jobs were available”
• “The reason for requiring that ability to pay be established . . . is to allow revocation only where the probationer unreasonably or willfully fails to comply . . . .”
