McGee v. Solicitor General of Richmond County, et al., No. 11-14075 (11th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseThis case concerned the constitutional validity of two statutes, O.C.G.A. 15-21A-6(c), the statute requiring a person to pay $50 for the appointment of counsel in a criminal case, and O.C.G.A. 42-8-100(g), the statute permitting a Georgia county to contract with private entities for the provision of probation services. The court concluded that plaintiff lacked standing to challenge the two statutes where plaintiff failed to establish, inter alia, the likelihood that he would once again be brought before the state court to answer a criminal charge, and plaintiff failed to demonstrate a sufficient likelihood of being convicted in state court and being placed on probation. Accordingly, the court vacated the district court's decision dismissing plaintiff's case as moot.
