Arkansas Post-Prison Transfer Board; Lona McCastlain

Summary

The court affirmed declaratory relief for McGowan, holding that his sentencing order did not expressly designate that he was sentenced under the statutory provision making certain repeat residential-burglary offenders ineligible for parole. The court also declined to remand for amendment of the sentencing order nunc pro tunc. The court therefore required the appellants to modify McGowan's parole-eligibility date as ordered below.
