DIANA MARIE AUSTIN 
PER CURIAM 
v.  Record No. 040470 
 
                           November 5, 2004 
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA 
 
FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA 
 
In this case, we granted the petition for appeal of Diana 
Marie Austin, a juvenile, to consider whether the Court of 
Appeals erred in holding that the Circuit Court of Franklin 
County, the trial court, had original jurisdiction over Austin’s 
juvenile parole revocation proceeding. 
The procedural history and pertinent facts regarding the 
revocation of Austin’s parole are not disputed and are recounted 
in detail in the opinion of the Court of Appeals.  Austin v. 
Commonwealth, 42 Va. App. 33, 35-37, 590 S.E.2d 68, 69-70 
(2003).  Upon consideration of the issue and for the reasons 
stated in the opinion of the Court of Appeals, see id. at 37-41, 
590 S.E.2d at 70-72, we will affirm its judgment that the trial 
court had jurisdiction over Austin’s juvenile parole revocation 
proceeding. 
Affirmed.
