| On direct appeal, Bobby Staley challenges the revocation of his probation. He has also petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus, contending he is being illegally confined based on the erroneous revocation of his probation. We have consolidated the two proceedings. We reverse the order revoking probation that Staley challenges in his appeal. For this reason, his habeas petition is moot. Staley was placed on probation for drug offenses in January 2000. In August 2000, he admitted violating his probation in exchange for a suspended sentence of two years' imprisonment with the requirement that he spend two years on drug offender probation, subject to all the conditions of drug court. He signed a ""drug court contract,"" which included the special condition that he ""agrees to waive his rights to an adversarial hearing or trial and will instead proceed directly to sentencing upon determination by the Drug Court Judge that [he] has failed to successfully complete the Drug Court Program."" |
