MOTION FOR REHEARING FILED:
MANDATE ISSUED:




     BEFORE PRATHER, P.J., ROBERTS AND MILLS, JJ.

     PRATHER, PRESIDING JUSTICE, FOR THE COURT:




Forrest A. Henley, Jr., appeals the denial of post-conviction relief (PCR) from the revocation of his
probation for a suspended sentence on fifteen counts of forgery. Henley's probation was revoked
because he tested positive for cocaine, failed to report to his probation officer, failed to make
restitution, and fled from the Jackson police during the course of committing a criminal act. Henley
raises the following issues for consideration by this Court:

I. Whether Henley's probation was erroneously revoked without the benefit of legal counsel?

II. Whether Henley was denied his right to due process?

III. Whether the trial court erred in allowing hearsay evidence to be presented?
IV. Whether the hearing was erroneously held without a presentence investigation report?

V. Whether the court erred in failing to instruct the probation officer of Henley's rights?


VI. Whether the original sentence in this case was in violation of the Sentencing Reform Act of
1984 and Miss. Code Ann. § 47-7-33?

Henley is procedurally barred from raising each of these issues because he failed to raise them at the
revocation hearing. See Brandau v. State, 662 So. 2d 1051, 1053 (Miss. 1995); Brooks v. State, 573
So. 2d 1350, 1353 (Miss. 1990). In addition, the PCR statutes provide that failure to raise an
objection before the trial judge bars raising the issue in the PCR motion, unless the prisoner can show
cause for the default and actual prejudice to his defense. Miss. Code Ann. § 99-39-21 (1) (Supp.
1996). Henley has made no such showing.

Furthermore, Henley's arguments are without merit. See Gagnon v. Scarpelli, 411 U.S. 778, 787-89
(1973); Berdin v. State, 648 So. 2d 73, 80 (Miss. 1994); Riely v. State, 562 So. 2d 1206, 1209
(Miss. 1990); Miss. Code Ann. §§ 47-7-3, 47-7-21, 99-39-9 (2) (Supp. 1996).

For these reasons, the judgment of the trial court denying Henley's motion for post-conviction relief
from the revocation of Henley's probation is affirmed, per curiam.

DENIAL OF POST-CONVICTION RELIEF AFFIRMED.
