Is a writ of habeas corpus the only federal remedy for a prisoner who has been denied parole?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Gipbsin v. McCumber, No. 2:16-cv-2053 MCE CKD P (E.D. Cal. 2016):
Plaintiff complains about parole proceedings. Plaintiff is informed that through this action, the court cannot grant any relief which would result in plaintiff receiving a shorter prison sentence. When a state prisoner challenges the legality of his custody and the relief he seeks is the determination of his entitlement to an earlier or immediate release, his sole federal remedy is a writ of habeas corpus. Preiser v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 475, 500 (1973).
