California Court of Appeal
In re Lawrence, B190874
On habeas petition, governor-s decision to reverse the Board of Parole Hearings's order granting parole to petitioner is vacated and Board's parole release order is reinstated as the Governor lacked "some evidence" the petitioner's release on parole would represent an "unreasonable risk" of danger to the community under either state or federal constitutional standards.
