THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, v. JILL ANN HAWKINS, Appellant.

[1] Criminal Law — Punishment — Probation — Revocation — Timeliness. A trial court has no authority to revoke a defendant's probation if the petition for revocation was not filed prior to the end of the probationary period.

PER CURIAM.

In this appeal, defendant challenges the authority of the trial court to enter an order revoking her probation. Our disposition is controlled by State v. Nelson, 92 Wn.2d 862, 601 P.2d 1276 (1979) (overruling sub silentio In re Myers, 20 Wn. App. 200, 579 P.2d 1006 (1978), and one of the alternative holdings of State v. Haugen, 22 Wn. App. 785, 591 P.2d 1218 (1979)). There, the court held that a superior court has no jurisdiction to revoke or modify a defendant's probation where the motion to revoke is filed after the probationary term has expired. RCW 9.95.230. This rule applies to cases in which the superior court has deferred sentencing as well as to those cases in which sentence is imposed but its execution suspended. See also State v. Mortrud, 89 Wn.2d 720, 575 P.2d 227 (1978) and State v. Hultman, 92 Wn.2d 736, 600 P.2d 1291 (1979). Here, an order modifying defendant's probation and extending it for 2 years was entered after the defendant's probation on two separate charges had expired. There is no evidence that the State petitioned the court for this order before the end of defendant's probationary term. Hence, that order is void, and the subsequent order revoking defendant's probation is also void.
