Heading: Decision to Revoke Probation

Text: 20 Tham argues that his violations of the conditions of probation were technical, and that his probation accordingly should not have been revoked. The district court must resolve two issues at a revocation hearing: 1) whether a violation of a probation condition occurred; and 2) whether probation should be revoked as a result. Fed.R.Crim.P. 32.1(a)(2) Advisory Committee Notes. The district court has broad discretion in revocation proceedings. Simmons, 812 F.2d at 565. 21 Here, Tham associated with several convicted felons in various circumstances and relationships, some of which were continuing. Tham stipulated to many of the charged associations, to the status of these associates as convicted felons, and to his knowledge of that fact. We cannot say the district court abused its discretion in revoking Tham's probation for violations of his probation conditions. 22
