Issues:
Corrections, drugs, random testing.
 
Case Summary:
Kendall Smith appeals a revision to his probation order that introduces a provision for random drug testing. Smith plead guilty robbery in the first degree. Smith had told authorities he committed the crime to get money for drugs. A year after he was granted probation, state officials revised the terms of probation to include a random drug testing requirement. Smith appeals the order changing the terms of his probation.
 
Decision of lower jurisdiction:
Officials with state's department of adult probation ordered a revision to the terms of Smith's conditional probation order.
 
Outcome:
Smith loses. The Superior Court of Connecticut dismissed Smith's appeal as moot. The court cited state statute that permits the reasonable revision to orders of conditional probation.
