Highlight

The pre-amendment version of N.D.C.C. § 12.1-32-07(6) unambiguously restrains a district court’s authority in probation revocation cases to imposition of the sentence initially imposed, but suspended.

When we reinterpreted N.D.C.C. § 12.1-32-07(6) in Dubois v. State, 2021 ND 153, 963 N.W.2d 543, to correct our prior misinterpretation of the statute, we were declaring what the statute has meant at all times before it was amended effective August 1, 2021.

When a defendant is resentenced after revocation of probation, the court imposes an illegal sentence if it resentences the defendant in excess of the suspended sentence imposed in the judgment of conviction.
