    Default Notice of a Show Cause Order

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: OREGON

    This is in Regards to a DUI. The conviction date was in April, and there was a requirement by the court to pay $50/mo due on the 1st of every month for the fines. A payment was not made in 6 months, due primarily to the fact that he had to pay for his DUII treatment program which was a substantial amount every month. With bills, and the costs of the treatment fees, Enhanced Bench probation fees, he has been unable to afford the $50/mo court fines. The defendant received a letter in the mail stating: "Notice: Show Cause Order", there is a Time and Address, but no courtroom number. The case states that it is for the DUII date.

    The Defendant has since paid the court fees up to date after receiving the letter.

    Question: What is the Notice of Show Cause Order actually for at this point? Could the defendant go to jail when he appears for this notice?

    If you violate your probation and receive an order to show cause why you should not be put in jail, you had best show up in court with a good excuse - and ideally a receipt showing that you've paid your delinquent assessments.

    If you violate your probation you can go to jail.

    A violation of probation would have resulted in a Warrant being issued right away. Appearently the court clerk in charge of the fines/fees collection department had notified the courts that it had not been paid in 6 months. However no warrant has been issued on this matter. The letter states "Arraignment, Show Cause Order".

    That doesn't contradict my inference that the clerk noted the probation violation and an order to show cause was issued. What's the nature of your quibble? What do you imagine you've been ordered to do, if not show cause why you should not be found to have violated your probation?
