Heading: Appropriate Remedy by District Court.

Text: 37 The State argues that in the event Thompson prevails, the district court nonetheless erred in granting Thompson release on parole, for by doing so, it impermissibly sat as a super parole board, and ignored considerations of comity. The State argues that the proper remedy would have been to allow the State to correct the due process violation by having the Board hold a new hearing, but without exercising their allegedly vindictive motives. 38 We reject the State's contention because it failed to raise this matter in the district court. It is the oft-stated rule in this Circuit that we do not rule on issues not raised below. Singleton v. Wulff, 428 U.S. 106, 120-21, 96 S.Ct. 2868, 2877, 49 L.Ed.2d 826 (1976). 39 We thus hold that the district court correctly ordered Thompson's release on parole. Based on the foregoing, we affirm the judgment of the district court. 40 LET OUR MANDATE ISSUE FORTHWITH.
