Gillette, Linde

Seaunier v. Board of Parole

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM

Petitioner was convicted of sodomy in the first degree and was sentenced to a ten-year term of imprisonment with a five-year minimum. At petitioner’s prison term hearing, the Board established a history/risk score of 3 under crime category 6 with a matrix range of 60 to 80 months, but sustained the 60-month minimum, affirming the previous parole release date of January 20,1988.

Petitioner seeks review, alleging the same grounds as in Anderson v. Board of Parole, 303 Or 618, 740 P2d 760 (1987). Petitioner’s procedural contentions are answered in Anderson v. Board of Parole, supra.

The decision of the Court of Appeals is affirmed.

Concurring in Part

GILLETTE, J.,

concurring in part and dissenting in part.

For the reasons expressed in my dissenting opinion in Anderson v. Board of Parole, 303 Or 618, 632, 740 P2d 760, 769 (1987), I respectfully dissent from that portion of this opinion dealing with a “detailed explanation,” under ORS 144.135, of the action taken by the Board of Parole with respect to the mandatory minimum sentence. I concur with the balance of the opinion.

Linde, J., joins in this concurring and dissenting opinion.
