State v. Regenold, 226 Ariz. 378

Regenold indicted for luring a minor for sexual exploitation; pleads guilty under a plea agreement with a five-to-fifteen-year range.
Trial court suspends imposition of sentence and places Regenold on lifetime probation.
Over a year later, State petitions to revoke probation; after a contested hearing, probation is revoked and Regenold is sentenced to 6.5 years incarceration.
Regenold appeals, but court of appeals dismisses under A.R.S. § 13-4033(B) as appeal from plea-entered sentence.
Arizona Supreme Court grants review to resolve whether § 13-4033(B) bars appeal when probation revocation is contested.
Court holds that § 13-4033(B) does not bar Regenold’s direct appeal from the sentence following a contested probation violation.

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Applicability of § 13-4033(B) to contested probation-violation sentence	Regenold argues sentence was not entered pursuant to a plea for § 13-4033(B).	State: sentence arises under plea and thus is barred from direct appeal.	Not barred; appeal permitted following contested probation violation.
Waiver of direct appeal by plea	Regenold waived direct appeal by pleading guilty, per Rule 32.1 implications.	Waiver bars direct appeal entirely, including probation-revocation consequences.	Waiver does not preclude later appellate challenges to probation-revocation sentence.
Relation of Rule 32.1 to jurisdiction	Rule 32.1 dictates post-conviction relief for probation-violation claims potentially.	Rule 32.1 governs those admitting violations; Regenold did not admit violation, so Rule 32.1 not controlling.	Rule 32.1 does not preclude appeal; jurisdiction is not limited to Rule 32 petition.
