Chief Judge SCHWARTZMAN,
SPECIALLY CONCURRING:
I fully concur in the opinion of this Court. I write only to note that this is the second decision in a very short period of time finding fault with the Idaho Commission of Pardons and Parole’s procedures insofar as giving a parolee a timely preliminary hearing on an alleged parole violation. See Brandt, supra. It would behoove the Commission to attend to this recurring problem and institute a set of procedural safeguards, not limited to the promulgation of rules and regulations, to forestall further lawsuits in this area of its responsibility. Inmates are particularly attuned to their rights in this day and age, and have no reticence in calling the authorities to account on the slightest provocation.
