Docket entry
180885 Cilwa v. Commonwealth 12/12/2019 In a challenge to the circuit court's revocation of a suspended sentence in a criminal case, because the trial court acted within its subject matter jurisdiction several years earlier when it entered an order -- sought by both sides -- indefinitely extending the defendant's probation, the defendant could not, years later, attack that order as void ab initio. The trial court did not err by entering later revocation orders predicated on that extension order, and the Court of Appeals did not err in upholding the actions of the circuit court. The judgment is affirmed.

Method: an entry is marked with an outcome only when its own text contains the outcome word, and the word is shown beside it. Orders, opinions and judgments whose text does not say are marked Other. Party filings, notices and routine procedural orders (appearances, extra pages, time extensions, scheduling) are not listed. No link between this case and any other case is recorded in our data, so only this case's own record is shown. Open the court's docket
