The court's record, as written
120465 Dunham v. Commonwealth 11/01/2012 Appeal from a sentencing order entered in 2010 amounted to a collateral attack on a 1998 sentencing order in a felony prosecution that was final and not appealed and that imposed a 14-year period of suspension of sentence upon good behavior. In a criminal case, collateral attack on a prior extension of a period of suspended sentence is not permissible. Consistent with the requirements of Code § 19.2-306(A), the 2010 sentence suspension took place within the 14-year period previously ordered. Therefore, the trial court did not err in revoking appellant's suspended sentence in 2010 and resuspending it for an extended period. The judgment is affirmed.
