A: In the context of your friend's situation, a "revocation for community control supervision" typically means that his attorney is requesting a review or hearing regarding the status of his community control or probation. This review is usually initiated when there are concerns about your friend's compliance with the terms and conditions of his probation or community control.

During this process, a judge will assess whether your friend has violated any of the conditions set forth in his probation or community control agreement. If violations are found, it could result in his probation or community control being revoked, which means he may be sent back to jail or face other consequences depending on the specific circumstances and the judge's decision.

It's essential for your friend to consult closely with his attorney to understand the reasons behind this request for revocation and to prepare a defense or address any issues that may have led to this situation. Additionally, your friend should follow his attorney's advice and attend any hearings or proceedings related to the revocation to ensure the best possible outcome in his case.
