BOBBY SNEED v. TIM HOOPER, WARDEN
In Re: Louisiana Committee on Parole and Executive Director Francis Abbott, applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 711804.

STAY LIFTED; WRIT DENIED.

McClendon, J., dissents.
I would reverse the portion of the district court's December 9, 2021 judgment which ordered Warden Tim Hooper to immediately release Bobby Sneed from the custody of the Louisiana State Penitentiary. Pursuant to La. R.S. 15:574.11 (C), immediate release is not an available remedy for the district court's finding that Mr. Sneed's due process rights were violated. I would remand this matter to the district court with instructions to remand this matter to the Committee on Parole to conduct a parole revocation hearing in accordance with applicable law.
