This is a case about the revocation of probation based solely on an individual's indigence. The plaintiff, an individual who had failed to pay his court costs within the first three years of his probation, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The individual alleged that his liberties were being unlawfully restrained because the sentencing court violated his due process and equal protection rights by revoking his probation solely because he was indigent.
