Supreme Court of Arkansas

Warren v. Felts

August 3, 20172017 Ark. 237

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Warren’s petition for a writ of mandamus concerning parole. Warren did not establish a clear right to parole or provide a sufficient record showing his parole eligibility, hearing, or denial, so the court could not reach the merits of his constitutional claims. The court also agreed that mandamus cannot control discretionary parole matters.
