The following excerpt is from In re Robert SHIPPMAN, 110 Cal.Rptr.3d 326, 185 Cal.App.4th 446 (Cal. App. 2010):
2Absent this state-created expectancy, parole decisions do not implicate due process concerns. Decisions of the Executive Branch, however serious their impact, do not automatically invoke due process protection; there simply is no constitutional guarantee that all executive decisionmaking must comply with standards that assure error-free determinations. [Citations.] This is especially true with respect to the sensitive choices presented by the administrative decision to grant parole release. ( Greenholtz v. Nebraska Penal Inmates, supra, 442 U.S. at p. 7, 99 S.Ct. 2100.)
