Murphy v. State Board

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM

Petitioner seeks review of a final order of the Board of Parole that established his release date. The Board reduced petitioner’s prison term by a percentage of the portion of time that he had served before the date of the hearing. He argues, the state concedes, and we agree that the Board should instead have applied the rate of reduction to the term to which petitioner had been sentenced. Jeldness v.
