1Opinion of the CourtGorman, J.

[¶ 1] The State of Maine appeals from a judgment of the Superior Court (Penob-scot County, Anderson, J.) granting Jonathan M. Spinney Jr.’s petition for post-conviction review of his expulsion from Adult Drug Treatment Court (“drug court”) and the resultant revocation of his probation. The court concluded that, because the drug court termination hearing was in part a bail revocation hearing, it had authority to grant Spinney’s request for post-conviction review and that the drug court termination hearing had not afforded Spinney due process. We vacate the judgment.
