OPINION FILED ________________________

AFFIRMED

THOMAS T. WOODALL, JUDGE
                                 ORDER

      The Appellant, Gary W . Tomlin, Jr. , appeals the revocation of his

probation by the trial court in Sumner County. At the revocation hearing, the

State presented evidence of the Appellant’s failure to comply with the conditions

of his probation. The Appellant testified and gave explanations for his failure to

comply with the probation conditions. After hearing all the evidence, the trial

court made specific findings of fact set forth in court orders, that Appellant had

violated the conditions of his probation.

      Appellant, relying upon Gagnon v. Scarpelli, 411 U.S. 778, 93 S. Ct. 1756,

36 L. Ed. 2d 656 (1973), argues on appeal that his due process rights were

violated because the trial court failed to set forth in writing the evidence relied

upon and the reasons for the probation revocation. The trial court’s orders of

record in this matter do not support Appellant’s arguments.

      As the evidence does not preponderate against the findings of the trial

judge and there is no error of law requiring a reversal of the judgment which is

apparent on the record, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed in accordance

with Rule 20 of the Court of Criminal Appeals of Tennessee.
