Heading: Previous Petition Challenging Denial of Parole

Text: On October 29, 2003, Woods filed a pro se habeas petition (2003 petition) under § 2254 alleging that: (1) the California Board of Prison Terms (BPT) failed to consider relevant information concerning his eligibility for parole; (2) the California Court of Appeal refused to grant him an evidentiary hearing regarding the evidence he wanted to present to the BPT; (3) there was insufficient evidence for the BPT to find him ineligible for parole; and (4) the BPT abused its discretion by using the wrong standard in declining to set a parole date. That petition was denied by the district court on September 24, 2004. This court affirmed the district court's denial on October 1, 2007. Woods v. Carey, 249 Fed.Appx. 640 (9th Cir.2007).
