Montana Supreme Court

State v. C. Zielie

May 6, 2025421 Mont. 452

Summary

The court held that the district court had authority to proceed on the State’s second petition to revoke Zielie’s suspended sentence because the prior dismissal terminated only the first revocation petition, not the validly imposed sentence. The district court also had authority to correct the prior order as a clerical error rather than a judicial revision. The court nevertheless remanded for resentencing because Zielie was entitled to an additional 66 days of credit for time served. No separate opinions were filed.
