I would say you missed a probation violation court date. "fta" means failure to appear. The only way you will know for sure is to ask the court to explain their abbreviations. www.kliszlaw.com. Tim Klisz

It sounds as if you were convicted of a crime and placed on probation. Your 'Probation Officer' has filed summons and complaint (S/C) because you failed to appear or do something you were supposed to do (fta). You will be arraigned on the new violation (charge). It's like having a new charge. Contact your probation officer and/or the Court to find out the status of your matter(s). Daniel Hajji 248.865.4700
