I paroled from a Ca. prison on 12/8/99 after serving 45 months of a 56 month sentence for a non-violent felony (grand theft). My Parole Officer has already told me that she will be recommending to the Board of Prison Terms that I be discharged at the end of my first year. However; she also stated early discharge would most likely be denied by the BPT. Under Sec.3001(a) which states in part that any person ...on parole continuously for one year since release from confinement, within 30 days, that person shall be discharged from parole, unless the Department of Corrections recommends to the Board of Prison Terms that person be retained on parole.... Since the word "shall" is used in the law, wouldn't the BPT be in violation of said law if they denie the requested discharge? I would also like to know what my chances might be to get a denial by the BPT overturned?
Thanks you for any help you can give me.
