OPINION FILED ______________________

AFFIRMED PURSUANT TO RULE 20

PER CURIAM
                                       OPINION

              The appellant appeals as of right pursuant to Rule 3 of the Tennessee Rules

of Appellate Procedure from the trial court’s revocation of his probation. Although a

hearing was held on the matter, the transcript of the proceedings is not included in the

record on appeal. In revoking the appellant’s probation, the trial court found that the state

had proven by a preponderance of the evidence that the appellant failed to report weekly,

failed to make progress in the MRT program, failed to pay fines and court costs, and failed

to pay probation fees. Without a record of the evidence introduced at the hearing, we

cannot conclude that the trial judge erred in revoking the appellant's probation. See State

v. Ballard, 855 S.W.2d 557, 560-61 (Tenn.1993). Accordingly, after a review of the record,

it is the opinion of this Court the judgment of the trial court should be affirmed pursuant to

Rule 20, Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals Rules.

                                           (Judges Wade, Welles, and Witt)
