State ex rel. Dotson v. Holden

This case arises out of a petition for writ of prohibition filed by Levi Dotson (Dotson). He asked this Court to issue a permanent writ to the Honorable Calvin R. Holden (Respondent), prohibiting him from conducting a probation revocation hearing and directing that Dotson be discharged from probation. Having considered the writ petition, exhibits and the parties’ suggestions, we conclude that Dotson is entitled to the relief sought. In the interest of justice, we dispense with all further procedure in this matter and issue a permanent writ in prohibition. See Rule 84.24(j) and (l).1
