MEMORANDUM***

A.P. Kane, Warden at the Correctional Training Facility at Soledad, California, appeals the district court’s grant of Ronald Albert Willis’s petition for habeas corpus relief. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254. We reverse.

The district court erred when it granted the petition and issued the writ on the basis that when the California Board of Prison Terms denied Willis parole, it violated Willis’s due process rights under the United States Constitution. See Bd. of Pardons v. Allen, 482 U.S. 369, 375-76, 107 S.Ct. 2415, 2419, 96 L.Ed.2d 303 (1987); Sass v. Cal. Bd. of Prison Terms, 461 F.3d 1123, 1127-28 (9th Cir. 2006). In deciding the issue before us, we follow our prior cases, which have held that to meet the due process standard there must be some evidence to support the decision to deny parole. See Irons v. Carey, 505 F.3d 846, 850-51 (9th Cir. 2007); Sass, 461 F.3d at 1128-29; Biggs v. Terhune, 334 F.3d 910, 915 (9th Cir. 2003); Jancsek v. Or. Bd. of Parole, 833 F.2d 1389, 1390 (9th Cir. 1987); see also McQuillion v. Duncan, 306 F.3d 895, 904 (9th Cir. 2002).1 Here there certainly was some evidence.

While there may be some cases where the facts and circumstances of the murder have ceased to supply “some evidence” that the defendant remains a danger,2 this is not one of them. Willis’s brutal beating of his 19-month-old daughter over a period of two days, his failure to seek medical help when her behavior and illness showed the severe effects of those beatings, and his ultimate discarding of her body in a dumpster bespeak a viciousness, callousness and indifference to innocent human life that can be seen as some evidence of a continuing danger to the safety of the public.3 Of course, it is not our task to balance the evidence and determine whether we agree with the ultimate decision. See Sass, 461 F.3d at 1128. Our task is simply *68to decide whether some evidence exists; here it does.

REVERSED.
