How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding the judge should have allowed Lakes to proceed in forma pauperis in his petition for a writ of habeas corpus because he was an indigent, incarcerated individual
  • reversing a judge’s denial of in forma pauperis status in a post-conviction relief action where the order failed to include factual findings that the inmate’s numerous filings rose to the level of the repetitive and abusive filings in Maxton
  • “If a habeas corpus petition does not satisfy the procedural requirements or allege sufficient facts to justify a habeas corpus hearing, the petition may be treated as a PCR application.”
