LUMPKIN, Judge:
Specially Concurring.
T1 I write to reiterate that the State has until the expiration of the suspended sentence (until midnight on the last day) to file an application to revoke. Hemphill v. State, 1998 OK CR 7, ¶ 3, 954 P.2d 148, 149; Crowels v. State, 1984 OK CR 29, ¶ 6, 675 P.2d 451, 453; Degraffenreid v. State, 1979 OK CR 88, ¶¶ 10-11, 599 P.2d 1107, 1109. Onee the application has been filed, the district court is vested with judicial power to determine the issue of revocation even if the hearing occurs after the expiration of the original term of sentence. Crowels, 1984 OK CR 29, ¶ 6, 675 P.2d at 453; Degraffenreid, 1979 OK CR 88, ¶ 11, 599 P.2d at 1109. At that hearing the district court has the authority to revoke any remaining unrevoked time, in part or in whole, even if it goes beyond the normal ending date of the original sentence. Hemphill, 1998 OK CR 7, ¶¶ 6-7, 9, 954 P.2d at 150; Degraffenreid, 1979 OK CR 88, ¶ 11, 599 P.2d at 1109.
12 As to the authority to assess costs in revocation proceedings, it must be recognized the authority to assess additional cost upon a defendant is only conferred on the District Court if first a valid revocation order is entered. If the District Court denies the application to revoke, ie. finds the evidence at the revocation hearing is not sufficient to grant the application, then there is no authority to require the defendant to pay any additional costs as a result of the revocation proceedings.
