Hayden v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant pleaded guilty to terroristic threatening in the first degree and was placed on five years' supervised probation. Because Appellant violated the conditions of his probation, his probation was revoked and he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment. Counsel for Appellant subsequently filed a petition for writ of error coram nobis, asserting that Appellant was mentally incompetent when he pleaded guilty and, therefore, the finding of guilt should be set aside. The trial court denied the petition. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and declared the motion related to the appeal moot, holding that because Petitioner had served his sentence by the time he filed this petition, his claim was moot, and a new revocation proceeding would not be an appropriate remedy.
