Description
This appeal involves an important question of law relating to the power and authority of the federal courts in a habeas corpus proceeding to review an order of a state parole board revoking the parole of a prisoner who had been twice convicted of crimes in the state court, paroled twice, declared a parole violator the second time, and returned to state prison to serve his sentence there rather than outside the prison. The prisoner contends in this Court that his right to due process of law under the Fourteenth Amendment was violated when the state parole board declared him a parole violator without a hearing. This contention requires a determination as to whether a paroled prisoner, in custody of prison authorities, who has not served his sentence, possesses rights as distinguished from privileges. Resort must be had to state law to ascertain the status of state prisoners.
