New Sentencing Condition upon revocation illegal

DA 07-0758
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA
2008 MT 464
STATE OF MONTANA,
v.
JODI MICHELLE WHITE,
The sole issue on appeal is whether the sentence imposed by the District Court in August 2007 is illegal.
CONCLUSION
We hold under § 46-18-203(7)(c), MCA, that the District Court had no authority to impose new conditions on White’s 1997 sentence and that the court, thus, has no authority to reimpose those illegal conditions on White’s 2007 sentence. Accordingly, we reverse the District Court’s August 2007 judgment to that narrow extent and remand this case with instructions that the court strike all conditions on White’s current sentence which are not contained in the court’s February 1994, August 1994, and July 1996 judgments. We affirm the District Court’s August 2007 judgment in all other respects.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded with instructions.
