State v. Hayes
Annotate this CaseIn 2008, Defendant pleaded guilty to theft, and in 2009, Defendant pleaded guilty to trafficking in a schedule Z drug. Defendant was ordered to pay fines in both cases. In 2014, Defendant was arrested for nonpayment of the fines. Defendant was subsequently committed to jail pursuant to Me. Rev. Stat. 17-A 1304(3) for intentionally or knowingly refusing to pay the fines assessed against him. Defendant appealed. The Supreme Judicial Court dismissed the appeal because the section 1304 hearing was a post-conviction proceeding, and Defendant’s sole avenue for appeal was through post-conviction review in the superior court.
