The Honorable Supreme Court met pursuant to adjournment. The following order was passed:

THE STATE v. JODY LEN GREATHOUSE.

Court of Appeals Case No. A24A1757

The Supreme Court today granted the writ of certiorari in this case as case No. .S25G0491

This case will be assigned to the August 2025 oral argument calendar automatically under Supreme Court Rule 50 (1) (a). Oral argument is mandatory in granted certiorari cases. This Court is particularly concerned with the following issue or issues:

May a defendant prospectively waive constitutional or statutory rights to a probation revocation hearing in the event of a subsequent violation of the terms of probation, whether those terms were imposed at the initial sentencing or subsequently? If not, what is the legal basis to preclude such a prospective waiver? Compare Zedner v. United States, 547 U. S. 489, 502-03 (III) (B) (126 SCt 1976, 164 LE2d 749) (2006), with Ricketts v. Adamson, 483 U. S. 1, 9-10 (107 SCt 2680, 97 LE2d 1) (1987).

Briefs should be submitted only on these points. See Supreme Court Rule 45.
