State v. Warner, 52 Or App 987, 630 P2d 385 (1981), Sup Ct review denied

 

      Where defendant was convicted on two charges of robbery in the first degree and one charge of attempted murder, was found by trial court to be a “dangerous offender” pursuant to ORS 161.725 and was sentenced under that statute to consecutive maximum terms of 30 years on each conviction, trial court did not err in imposing three consecutive minimum terms of 15 years. State v. Holmes, 62 Or App 652, 661 P2d 556 (1983), Sup Ct review denied

 

      Authority of court to impose minimum term is not applicable to life sentence. State v. Macy, 295 Or 738, 671 P2d 92 (1983)

I, sec. 11 of Oregon Constitution where petitioner for post-conviction relief did not raise issue in first post-conviction hearing, he could not attack underlying conviction on that basis in second post-conviction hearing. Martz v. Maass, 110 Or App 391, 822 P2d 750 (1991), Sup Ct review denied

      This section does not create right for inmate to bring any person of the inmate’s choice to hearing before State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision but instead authorizes board and Department of Corrections to jointly promulgate rule regarding persons who may accompany inmate at hearing and inmate may choose from among persons named in rule. Smith v. Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision, 272 Or App 493, 356 P3d 158 (2015)

      1993 amendment governing release delay based on mental or emotional condition that predisposes prisoner to commit future crime imposes more onerous standard than preamendment version of statute and therefore cannot be applied retroactively. Meadows v. Schiedler, 143 Or App 213, 924 P2d 314 (1996)

 

      Version of statute applicable to sentences for pre-1993 crimes does not require that determination that prisoner is danger to community be part of psychiatric or psychological report. Merrill v. Johnson, 155 Or App 295, 964 P2d 284 (1998), Sup Ct review denied. But see Peek v. Thompson, 160 Or App 260, 980 P2d 178 (1999)

      Under 1991 version of this section, requirement that psychiatric or psychological diagnosis show prisoner to have present severe emotional disturbance constituting danger to health or safety of community was sufficient limitation to overcome vagueness challenge. Hess v. Board of Parole, 514 F3d 909 (9th Cir. 2008)

 

      Ability of prisoner to call witnesses or cross-examine people who have provided information to Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision are not requirements for constitutionally adequate parole-exit interview under this statute.

      144.228

 

NOTES OF DECISIONS

      Where petitioner was found to continue to suffer from substance dependency and mixed personality disorder, to have not followed treatment recommendations and to present significant risk of committing additional violent, sexual acts but did not display specific symptoms in hearing, Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision did not err in deferring parole consideration because board is not limited to considering specific symptoms displayed only during hearing to determine whether, under 1985 version of this section, “condition which made the prisoner dangerous is absent or in remission.” Bell v. Board of Parole, 283 Or App 711, 391 P3d 907 (2017), Sup Ct review denied

      144.270

 

NOTES OF DECISIONS

 

      The parole-granting process continues until the inmate is actually released from confinement so that an order of the board canceling its previous order of parole did not constitute a revocation of parole where the order of cancellation preceded and prevented the actual release of the inmate and thereby brought the parole-granting process to a halt. Bailleaux v. Cupp, 16 Or App 573, 520 P2d 483 (1974), Sup Ct review denied

 

      The board does not abuse its discretion under this section by requiring an inmate to waive extradition as a condition of his release on parole where a detainer has been filed by another state. Bailleaux v. Cupp, 16 Or App 573, 520 P2d 483 (1974), Sup Ct review denied

      144.275

 

NOTES OF DECISIONS

 

      This section, empowering Board of Parole to establish restitution schedule for parolees, did not relieve trial court of duty to enter order specifying, inter alia, time, place and manner of payment. State v. Ewing, 36 Or App 573, 585 P2d 34 (1978)

 

      Since this section places responsibility for deciding conditions of parole with Parole Board, court order which required defendant to make monthly payments as condition of parole was not binding. State v. Kipp, 52 Or App 1011, 630 P2d 394 (1981); State v. Secreto, 54 Or App 709, 636 P2d 438 (1981)

      Court of Appeals had jurisdiction to review final orders by Board of Parole relating to granting of parole. Harris v. Board of Parole, 288 Or 495, 605 P2d 1181 (1980)

 

      Failure of Parole Board to reduce time for petitioner’s release to the time he felt was proper, even though the Board did in fact reduce the release time from its original determination, caused petitioner to be “adversely affected or aggrieved by a final order” within meaning of this section. Hein v. Board of Parole, 56 Or App 293, 641 P2d 642 (1982)

 

      Parole Board order setting release date is not final order while administrative review is pending. Palaia v. Board of Parole, 57 Or App 781, 646 P2d 654 (1982)

      “Substantial question of law” is not presented if: 1) ruling raising question is not reviewable; 2) question is contrary to constitutional statute; 3) question is contrary to state appellate decisions and does not raise new argument or cite new authority; or 4) disposition of question is controlled by unambiguous language of valid administrative rule.

Richards v. Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision, 339 Or 176, 118 P3d 261 (2005)

 

      “Substantial question of law” means soundly based, firmly supported question, capable of adjudication as to what law is, that is presented by facts of particular case at bar. Atkinson v. Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision, 341 Or 382, 143 P3d 538 (2006)

      Where petitioner sought review of Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision decision that relied on psychological evaluation to postpone petitioner’s release under ORS 144.125 and board issued detailed administrative review response that upheld decision, board’s response was reviewable final order made within scope of board’s authority.

      Orders by Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision are not subject to ORS 183.470 (2) that require agency final orders to be accompanied by findings of fact and conclusions of law, but are subject to substantial reason standard of review in ORS 183.482 (8)(c), and board’s final order that cites psychological evaluation as basis for decision to postpone petitioner’s release meets substantial reason standard. Jenkins v. Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision, 356 Or 186, 335 P3d 828 (2014)

NOTES OF DECISIONS

 

      A parolee has a constitutional right to an on-site hearing by which a person other than the parole officer who recommends revocation can decide whether there is probable cause to revoke, and a parolee who is denied such a hearing must be granted relief if he suffered prejudice as a result of that denial. Huckaby v. Newell, 16 Or App 581, 519 P2d 1290 (1974)

 

      Where inmate is granted parole but has not been scheduled for release, revocation does not entail procedural requirements that would apply if inmate were in parole status. Boyd v. Board of Parole, 23 Or App 266, 541 P2d 1068 (1975)

 

      Where board refers to record submitted by hearings officer, written statement of evidence relied upon is not required. Sandersfeld v. Oregon State Board of Parole, 25 Or App 323, 548 P2d 1333 (1976)

 

      Where board impliedly adopts findings of fact by hearings officer, recital of findings of fact is not required. Sandersfeld v. Oregon State Board of Parole, 25 Or App 323, 548 P2d 1333 (1976)

 

      Where Board revoked parole by order which merely gave notice of entitlement to review of order, parolee was not afforded full due process hearing contemplated by this section. Erickson v. Board of Parole, 34 Or App 323, 578 P2d 499 (1978)

 

      Where there were no complex issues or substantial mitigating factors to be presented in parole revocation hearing, it was not abuse of discretion for Board of Parole to deny appointment of counsel, despite parolee’s assertion that he was “incapable of speaking effectively for himself.” Ritchie v. Board of Parole, 35 Or App 711, 583 P2d 1 (1978), on reconsideration 37 Or App 385, 587 P2d 1036 (1978)

 

      Where petitioner neither denied that he violated conditions of parole nor presented any reason justifying appointment of counsel, Board of Parole did not err in denying request for appointed counsel for revocation hearing. Asher v. State Board of Parole, 100 Or App 592, 786 P2d 1323 (1990), Sup Ct review denied

 

      Notice of hearing right regarding revocation need not inform violator of possible consequences of revocation that may arise in later proceedings. Woolstrum v. Board of Parole, 141 Or App 332, 918 P2d 112 (1996), Sup Ct review denied

 

      Ability of board to revoke parole and require violator to serve remainder of sentence is not subject to limitations of parole revocation rules adopted under ORS 144.346. Kessler v. Board of Parole, 145 Or App 584, 931 P2d 801 (1997)

 

      Where parole condition requires person to obey all municipal, county, state and federal laws, fact that person has been arrested does not establish probable cause to believe person has violated condition. Mageske v. Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision, 173 Or App 209, 21 P3d 150 (2001)

 

      Relevance of information in proceeding for alleged parole violation is determined using definition of relevance set forth in Oregon Evidence Code. O’Hara v. Board of Parole, 346 Or 41, 203 P3d 213 (2009)

      144.785

 

NOTES OF DECISIONS

 

      Since Board of Parole is not authorized to keep individual incarcerated beyond maximum period of imprisonment set at sentencing, it was error for judge to state, at time of imposing sentence, that number of years he sentenced defendant was merely academic because of Board’s schedule for determining parole.

      This section does not require that, in setting parole release date, Parole Board determine by rule, in advance, every circumstance it may consider to be aggravating or mitigating. Moore v. Ore. State Bd. of Parole, 54 Or App 369, 635 P2d 3 (1981)

NOTES OF DECISIONS

 

Under former similar statute (ORS 144.790)

 

      This section and ORS 137.120 are mandatory, not discretionary, and trial court was required to obtain and consider presentence report and state on record reasons for its decisions, notwithstanding waiver of presentence report by defendant. State v. Biles, 34 Or App 531, 579 P2d 259 (1978), aff’d 287 Or 63, 597 P2d 808 (1979); State v. Phillips, 312 Or App 149, 490 P3d 180 (2021), Sup Ct review denied

 

      Where revocation of suspended sentence occurred subsequent to effective date of this section, presentence report was prerequisite to imposition of sentence. State v. Gale, 35 Or App 3, 580 P2d 1036 (1978)

 

      It was error for court, prior to imposing sentence upon revocation of probation, to fail to require Corrections Division to furnish copy of presentence report. State v. Blume, 36 Or App 161, 583 P2d 34 (1978)

 

      Presentence report requirement of this section was fulfilled where trial judge relied on 3-week old presentence report and any new relevant material that was before court. State v. Corrick, 38 Or App 247, 589 P2d 1186 (1979)

 

      Where court did no more than order execution of previously imposed suspended sentence, it was not imposing sentence or acting as “sentencing court” within meaning of this section, and requirement of presentence report did not apply. State v. Gustafson, 38 Or App 437, 590 P2d 733 (1979)

 

      Where there was delay between preparation of presentence report and sentencing, but defendant was in custody and no new and relevant material was omitted from report because of delay, there was no requirement under this section that presentence report be updated. State v. Gibson, 38 Or App 593, 590 P2d 797 (1979)

 

      Presentence report relating to earlier crime without sentence recommendation for subsequent crime was insufficient under this section to sentence for later crime. State v. Wash, 39 Or App 447, 592 P2d 1035 (1979)

 

      Where sentence had been vacated and new probation granted, pre-sentence report was required before court revoked probation and imposed sentence because court was acting as “sentencing court” within meaning of this section. State v. Hallin, 43 Or App 401, 602 P2d 1134 (1979)

 

      Term “criminal prosecution” in Oregon Constitution Article I, section 11, includes sentencing and presentence interview requires assistance of counsel. State ex rel Russell v. Jones, 293 Or 312, 647 P2d 904 (1982)
