Pirtle v. California Board of Prison Terms

Opinion

MEMORANDUM *

On remand from the Supreme Court, California state prisoner John Pirtle renews his argument that the California Parole Board’s 2002 denial of his parole vio *617 lated his federal right to due process. In light of Swarthout v. Cooke, 562 U.S.-, 131 S.Ct. 859, 178 L.Ed.2d 732 (2011) (per curiam), we hold that Pirtle’s right to due process was not violated. Accordingly, we reverse the district court’s judgment granting the writ of habeas corpus.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
