AFFIRMED.
Per Curiam.
Dawn M. Deitz, Assistant State’s Attorney, 514 East Thayer Avenue, Bismarck, N.D. 58501, for plaintiff and appellee; on brief.

State v. Ramirez
No. 20110255
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Joseph Ramirez appeals from the trial court’s judgment revoking his probation and amending his criminal judgment. On appeal, Ramirez argues the evidence does not support the court’s findings, and the court abused its discretion when it revoked his probation. Specifically, Ramirez claims two of the alleged violations of probation were not proven by a preponderance of the evidence and the trial court erred by basing the revocation of his probation, at least in part, on these findings. The State need show only a single violation to sustain revocation of probation. State v. Jacobsen , 2008 ND 52, ¶ 15, 746 N.W.2d 405.
[¶2] We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2), (4), and (7).
