OPINION FILED:________________________________

AFFIRMED PURSUANT TO RULE 20

Joe B. Jones, Presiding Judge
                                   OPINION

       The appellant, Marshall L. Scruggs (defendant), appeals as of right from a judgment

of the trial court revoking his community corrections sentence and requiring him to serve

the sentence previously imposed by the court. In this Court, the defendant contends the

trial court abused its discretion by revoking his probation.

       This is the second community corrections revocation in this case. The record

reflects the defendant violated the terms of his house arrest. He was subsequently

arrested for underage consumption of alcohol, driving while under the influence, and

driving while his license was suspended. He was convicted of DUI and the other two

charges were retired.

       After a thorough review of the record, the briefs submitted by the parties, and the

law governing the issue presented for review, it is the opinion of this Court that the

judgment of the trial court should be affirmed pursuant to Rule 20, Tennessee Court of

Criminal Appeals Rules.

                                   ____________________________________________
                                          JOE B. JONES, PRESIDING JUDGE
