BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION

On March 5, 2012, Rodney England pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled

substance (Health and Saf. Code, § 11350, subd. (a)), and the court granted him probation

under Penal Code section 1210.

At an August 2012 hearing, the court declined England's request to remain in drug

treatment after summarizing his failures to complete drug treatment. The court stated:

"Seventy two hours [after England pleaded guilty to the drug violation] he failed to

appear at probation. First court appearance, [April 4, 2012]. He failed to appear in court.
