California Court of Appeal
Bd. of Parole Hearings v. Superior Court of Santa Clara County, H033239
Petition for writ of mandate vacating a superior court instruction is granted where the superior court's order, requiring petitioner-parole board to explain what instances of an inmate's commitment offense would not qualify for invocation of any unsuitability criteria which may be used to deny him parole, impermissibly limited the board's discretion.
