       In the above-entitled cause, the Clerk will enter:

       Defendant Arthur E. Passino appeals from the district court's
  revocation of his probation in connection with his conviction for
  involuntary manslaughter. Defendant and his counsel were present at the
  revocation hearing, when the trial court determined that defendant had
  violated his conditions of probation.  The court did not announce its
  decision at the hearing as to sanctions, however, instead issuing a written
  order four days later that imposed the full underlying sentence and
  recommended that defendant be considered for alcohol, sex offender and
  violent offender programs in prison.  Defendant contends that revoking his
  probation in this manner violated his constitutional right to due process
  of law.  We affirm.

       As we stated in State v. Kasper, 152 Vt. 435, 439, 566 A.2d 982, 985
