Kirschke (Matthew) v. State

material deemed inappropriate by his probation officer, but alleges that the State failed to meet its burden because his probation officer never saw the alleged sexually explicit material. Such a reading of the condition would produce an absurd result. See Wilson v. State, 121 Nev. 345, 357, 114 P.3d 285, 293 (2005) (this court construes statutory language to avoid absurd results). At the probation revocation hearing, a witness testified that Kirschke showed the witness his phone, on which was a website that showed a female with male genitalia in her mouth. We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion by finding that Kirschke's conduct was not as good as required by the conditions of his probation. See Lewis, 90 Nev. at 438, 529 P.2d at 797. Second, Kirschke contends that he was not given sufficient notice regarding a violation the district court determined he committed, specifically that he was in or near a business that primarily has children as customers or conducts events that primarily children attend. We conclude that, while Kirschke did not receive advance notice, the district court did not err by considering the testimony as it was relevant to a condition of his probation. See Jaeger v. State, 113 Nev. 1275, 1285, 948 P.2d 1185, 1191 (1997) (Shearing, CA., concurring) (recognizing that the dual nature of a revocation hearing, to determine whether there was a violation and, if so, whether revocation is warranted, necessitates the district court's consideration of other relevant factors, including a probationer's failure to conform to the requirements of his probation). Third, Kirschke claims that the evidence presented at the revocation hearing did not establish some of the violations by verifiable

facts, namely that children were the primary customers of the business he frequented and that his game console could access the Internet.' Our review of the record on appeal reveals that the district court heard testimony from which it could reasonably infer that Kirschke's conduct was not as good as required by the conditions of his probation. See Lewis, 90 Nev. at 438, 529 P.2d at 797. Accordingly, we conclude that Kirschke has not demonstrated that the district court abused its discretion by revoking his probation and entering a second amended judgment of conviction, and we ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
