The functions of the liaison officer 7 35 and the board of parole shall be performed by the judge or 8 1 magistrate who placed the alleged violator on probation if 8 2 that judge or magistrate is available, otherwise by another 8 3 judge or magistrate who would have had jurisdiction to try the 8 4 original offense. If the probation officer proceeds by 8 5 arrest, any magistrate may receive the complaint, issue an 8 6 arrest warrant, or conduct the initial appearance and probable 8 7 cause hearing if it is not convenient for the judge who placed 8 8 the alleged violator on probation to do so. The initial 8 9 appearance, probable cause hearing, and probation revocation 8 10 hearing, or any of them, may at the discretion of the court be 8 11 merged into a single hearing when it appears that the alleged 8 12 violator will not be prejudiced thereby.
