Vern Schuldheisz v. John Felts, Chairman, Arkansas Parole Board

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Schuldheisz’s petition for declaratory judgment and mandamus relief because he failed to plead sufficient facts showing that the parole denial violated an applicable parole statute or regulation. The record lacked the parole-board materials and specific offense dates and laws necessary to determine whether the challenged decision was illegal, and the court declined to research undeveloped parole claims.
