OPINION FILED:



AFFIRMED - RULE 20 ORDER



JOE G. RILEY, JUDGE
                                      ORDER



       Appellant, Rochelle Andre Triplett, pled guilty to aggravated assault, simple
assault, criminal impersonation, and possession of drug paraphernalia in March

1998. He received an effective three-year sentence and was placed on probation.
In June 1998, his probation officer filed a probation violation warrant alleging failure
to report and failure to pay fines and costs. The trial court conducted a full

revocation hearing, found appellant in violation and revoked his probation.
Appellant challenges that revocation. We AFFIRM.



       At the May 1999 revocation hearing, the state asserted two additional
grounds for revocation through the testimony of defendant’s probation officer:

violation of curfew and failure to inform of change of residence. Defendant also
testified at the hearing. He stipulated to his failure to report and pay fines, but
challenged the two additional grounds.



       Based upon the stipulations and testimony, the trial court found that the

appellant failed to report, failed to inform his probation officer of a change in

residence and failed to pay his fines and costs. The trial court rejected the state’s
contention that defendant violated his curfew. The evidence does not preponderate
against the trial court’s ruling. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by revoking

appellant’s probation. Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-35-311(d).


       The judgment of the trial court is affirmed pursuant to Rule 20, Tennessee

Court of Criminal Appeals. It appearing that the appellant is indigent, costs shall be
taxed to the state.




       So ordered. Enter:




                                                         _______________________
