On January 12, 2009, petitioner, a California prisoner incarcerated at the Correctional Training Facility, Soledad, and proceeding pro se, filed the above-titled petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging a 2006 decision by the California Board of Prison Hearings ("Board") to deny petitioner parole. Respondent has filed an answer to the petition and petitioner has filed a traverse. A recent decision from the Ninth Circuit addresses important issues relating to federal review of parole decisions. See Hayward v Marshall, No. 06-55392, 2010 WL 1664977 (9th Cir. April 22, 2010) (en banc). Consequently, the parties will be directed to file supplemental briefs setting forth their respective views as to the effect, if any, of the Hayward en banc decision on the Court's determination of the instant petition.
