The following excerpt is from Hydrick v. Hunter, 449 F.3d 978 (9th Cir. 2006):
We read the same message in Parham v. J.R., 442 U.S. 584, 608, 99 S.Ct. 2493, 61 L.Ed.2d 101 (1979): "What process is constitutionally due cannot be divorced from the nature of the ultimate decision that is being made." See also Morrissey v. Brewer, 408 U.S. 471, 481, 92 S.Ct. 2593, 33 L.Ed.2d 484 (1972) ("Due process is flexible and calls for such procedural protections as the particular situation demands.").
