Patin v. State Board of Parole
Patin v. State Board of Parole
Opinion of the Court
Petitioner appeals a Board of Parole order that states, in part:
“DISCHARGE OF PAROLE PRIOR TO SENTENCE EXPIRATION DATE IS CONTINGENT UPON APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OF PAROLE, FOLLOWING A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PAROLE OFFICER AND PAYMENT IN FULL OF ANY RESTITUTION OWING.”
He contends that the Board could not impose restitution, because the sentencing court only recommended that restitution in the sum of $11,459.90 be made a condition of parole.
In this court, the Board concedes
Reversed and remanded for reconsideration.
There is no explanation as to why the Board, having recognized its error, did not amend its order without the necessity for this court’s involvement.
