UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

This action was brought by Petitioner under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner challenged the 

California Parole Board’s decision to deny parole. This Court held that “some evidence” did not 

support the Board’s decision. Respondent appealed. After Respondent appealed, the United 

States Supreme Court decided Swarthout v. Cooke, 131 S. Ct. 859 (2011). On appeal, the Ninth 

Circuit in a series of three opinions followed Swarthout, found that due process as described by 

Swarthout had been followed, and reversed and vacated this Court’s prior orders. See Doc. Nos. 

76, 77, 78. That is, the Ninth Circuit followed Swarthout and denied Petitioner relief. Following 

the Ninth Circuit’s first order, the Clerk administratively reopened this case on April 20, 2011. 

The Ninth Circuit’s mandate issued on November 18, 2011. See Doc. No. 79. 

There have been no filings or activities of any kind in this case since November 2011. 

However, the case remains administratively opened. Given the Ninth Circuit’s resolution of this 

matter, this case has concluded. The Court will correct the docket for administrative purposes.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall administratively CLOSE this 

case in light of the Ninth Circuit’s disposition. See Doc. Nos. 76, 77, 78, 79.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 10, 2015
