Labrum v. Utah State Board of Pardonsgreen
utah · 1993 · cited in 3 Utah opinions naming this issue, 1997–2020
2 sentences

2017Id. at 908 . ¶ 26 Labrum didn't purport to exhaustively list the procedural protections to which the Utah Constitution entitles an inmate in an original parole hearing.

2017It simply concludes-based on the "reality" that parole hearings "are analogous to sentencing hearings," 870 P.2d at 908 -(a) that an inmate has some due process rights at the initial parole hearing, id. at 911 ; and (b) that those rights include the right to "know what information the Board will be considering at the hearing ... soon enough in advance to have a reasonable opportunity to prepare responses and rebuttal of inaccuracies," id . at 909. ¶ 140 There is no clear rationale or "framework" for these decisions in the Labrum opinion.

2015First, "an inmate must receive adequate notice to prepare for a parole hearing." Id. at 150 .

2015T5 Similarly, there is no genuine issue of fact supporting the claim that Kim-bal was denied procedural due process in the August 2012 proceedings before the Board. "[Two due process requirements must be met in parole grant hearings." Peterson v. Board of Pardons, 931 P.2d 147, 150 (Utah Ct.App.1997). "[Aln inmate must receive adequate notice to prepare for a parole hearing" and "must receive copies or a summary of the information in the Board's file upon which the Board will rely in deciding whether to grant parole." Id.

Neel v. Holdengreen
utah · 1994 · cited in 2 Utah opinions naming this issue, 2017–2025
2 sentences

2025Although an inmate enjoys due process protections for certain parole hearings at which an inmate’s release date is fixed, see Neel v. Holden, 886 P.2d 1097, 1101 (Utah 1994), the Board retains full discretion to grant or deny parole, and its decisions “in cases involving paroles are final and are not subject to judicial review,” Blanke v. Utah Bd. of Pardons & Parole, 2020 UT 39 , ¶ 18, 467 P.3d 850 (quoting UTAH CODE § 77-27-5(3)).

2017However, after acknowledging that there is no right to appointed counsel at a parole hearing, see Neel v. Holden, 886 P.2d 1097, 1103-04 (Utah 1994), Harmon fails to set forth any analysis or legal citations to support his claim.

2017The closest the Labrum court comes to identifying a basis for its decision is the assertion that the procedure embraced by the court advances “two critical functions related to fundamental fairness”—“minimizing error and preserving the integrity of the [parole] process.” 24 Id.; see also id. at 910 (asserting that 24 The doctrine of stare decisis urges courts to apply “the first decision by a court on a particular question of law . . .

1991In a more recent case, State v. Johnson, 748 P.2d 1069 (Utah 1987), the supreme court amplified the reasonable suspicion standard enunciated in Velasquez stating: It is necessary that a parole officer have an articulable “reasonable suspicion,” which “requires no more than that the authority acting be able to point to specific and articulable facts that, taken together with rational inferences from those facts, reasonably warrant a belief in the conclusion ... that a condition of parole has been or is being violated.” Thus, to constitute a valid warrantless search, there must be evidence (1) t

Hernandez v. Hayward green

1989According to Utah Code Ann. § 78 -2a-3(2)(g) (Supp.1989), this court has original appellate jurisdiction over “appeals from orders on petitions for extraordinary writs involving a criminal conviction, except those involving a first degree or capital felony.” (Emphasis added.) In Hernandez v. Hayward, 764 P.2d 993 (Utah Ct.App.1988), a panel of this court, one judge dissenting, concluded that this court had jurisdiction of an appeal from the denial of an extraordinary writ involving extra dition to Idaho for a parole violation.

1989The court reasoned that it had jurisdiction under section 78-2a-3 because the statutory language “is deliberately and sufficiently broad to include those cases where a criminal conviction is involved in a habeas corpus proceeding to challenge extradition.” Id. at 995 .
