How later courts described this case
- stating that, “[u]n-like the Teacher Tenure Act, ... the FDA does not contain an automatic contract renewal provision”
- holding that the general rules of preservation apply to probation revocation proceedings
- "If, ... before the expiration of the original court-ordered probation period or before the expiration of the maximum statutory probation period, revocation proceedings are begun, then the running of the applicable period is tolled.”
Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
I applaud the majority for its decision to affirm the trial court in its denial of appellant's *Page 681
habeas corpus petition and to overrule the incorrect holding of Miller v. City of Dothan , 670 So.2d 509 (Ala.Cr.App. 1995).
As the author of the dissent in Miller , I am pleased that we have the opportunity to rectify the faulty Analysis in Miller . As I stated in my dissent, quoting Judge Taylor in Peoples v. State , 439 So.2d 774 (Ala.Cr.App. 1983):
"To hold otherwise would invite probationers to leave . . . until after the term of their probation and then return here with impunity. Certainly such a result was not intended."
