(4) Revocation of Suspended Sentence. Review of an order revoking a suspended sentence is governed by the same procedure as perfection of a regular misdemeanor or felony appeal. See Section 991(b) of Title 22, and Sections II, and III, and XI of these Rules. However, the scope of review is limited to the validity of the revocation order.

Failure to appeal the terms of the Order Deferring Imposition of Judgment and Sentence does not preclude a defendant's right to a certiorari review of the validity of the plea in accordance with this Rule if the order deferring is accelerated at a future date with Judgment and Sentence imposed.

(ii) A defendant who seeks to only appeal the terms imposed by the trial court as a condition for deferral of Judgment and Sentence may appeal under the Rules for regular misdemeanor or felony appeals. See Sections 1051 and 991c of Title 22; and Sections II, and III, and XI of these Rules. The scope of review will be limited to the validity of the conditions of probation set out in the Order Deferring Imposition of Judgment and Sentence.
