California Court of Appeal

Petition for writ of habeas corpus following Governor's reversal of a grant of parole is denied where: 1) there was some evidence to support the Governor's decision finding defendant unsuitable for parole; 2) defendant failed to establish that the Governor did not provide proper individualized consideration of his case, in violation of his right to due process; 3) defendant failed to demonstrate the Governor applies an anti-parole policy to persons convicted of murder that violates his constitutional right to due process; and 4) the composition of the Parole Board did not violate defendant's right to due process.
