Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Ex Parte Michael Wayne Bohannan, Applicant
May 11, 20112011 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 618
Summary
The Court dismissed the applicant's habeas petition as moot because his claim was not justiciable under the "capable of repetition, yet evading review" doctrine, and consequently dismissed the due‑process claim. Two concurring opinions noted the ongoing need for prompt preliminary hearings under Morrissey and questioned the significance of factual differences from prior cases.
