Ex Parte William Keith Robey. (in Re State of Alabama v. William Keith Robey)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama denied Robey's petition for a writ of mandamus without issuing an opinion. Robey sought an order requiring reconsideration of his application to proceed in forma pauperis for a postconviction petition. Chief Justice Moore dissented, reasoning that the lower courts applied an improper retrospective savings-based indigency standard and that Robey's application should be reconsidered under the governing rules and precedent.
