DOROTHY ELIZABETH CILWA v. COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA (Record Number 180885) 

 

From 

 

The Court of Appeals of Virginia. 

 

Counsel

 

Shalev Ben-Avraham (Office of the Public Defender) for appellant. 

 

Christopher P. Schandevel (OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL) for appellee. 

 

Assignments of Error

 

  1. The Court of Appeals erred in finding that the trial court had personal and subject matter jurisdiction over Ms. Cilwa when it issued the February 19, 2015 bench warrant and when it revoked her suspended sentence in its March 31, 2015 order. 

 

  1. The Court of Appeals erred by finding that a void September 2009 order would have no effect on the January 2010 order or subsequent orders. 

 

  1. The Court of Appeals erred in affirming the trial court’s error by not finding that Ms. Cilwa’s probation terminated automatically when she completed substance abuse treatment in January 2013 because Ms. Cilwa had formed a contract conditions subsequent and those conditions had been met.
