Page 12 of 15TERMINATIONS (CONT.)An offender is on probation and a MTR is filed and capias is issued. The probation termexpires soon after. The district attorney dismisses the MTR six months later. What type oftermination should be reported and when should it be reported?Report as an expired termination (Item II.1.b) for the month in which the MTR is dismissed,because the offender is still on legal probation until the D.A. dismisses the MTR. From the timeof the sentence expiration until the month prior to the dismissal, the offender should be carried aseither direct or indirect.How should an offender’s termination be reported if the term of probation has expired, buthe/she still owes money and no MTR has been filed. Should it be reported as expired or asother administrative closure?Report as expired term (Item II.B.1.b).An offender’s term has expired, but he had an MTR filed before the expiration date so he isbeing counted as Indirect-Other. If a bond forfeiture warrant is issued, should the offenderthen be counted as an absconder?Yes, this person should be counted as an absconder (Item II.b.3).What is the status of absconders whose term of probation has expired?If a motion to revoke has not been filed, the individual should be reported as a supervisiontermination under expired term of probation (Item II.B.l.b.). If a motion to revoke has been filedand a capias issued, an absconder retains absconder status even though the initial term ofprobation has expired and should continue to be reported as an indirect absconder (Item I.B.3) onthe monthly report. Upon final disposition, the appropriate supervision termination is to bereported in Item II.B.1. Absconders should not be periodically expunged from the monthlyreport.An offender’s adjudicated supervision term expires with a pending MTR. Should he/she becarried as Indirect—Other or Indirect—Absconder? How long should these cases be carriedand is there a point that the case should be administratively closed? One example would be anoffender who had been deported 10 years ago and was still being carried as Indirect.These cases should be carried indefinitely, so long as there is a pending MTR. If the CSCDwants to close out these cases, they need to go back to court and get the MTR resolved. Uponfinal disposition by the court, count the case as a termination under the appropriate category.CSCD STAFFA CSCD has part-time support staff (15 hours) hired from a temp agency (that is, the CSCDpays the temp agency).
