VAN HOUTEN (LESLIE) ON H.C.
B291024 Second Appellate District, Div. 1
Dismissed and remanded to Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Division One
We granted review in this matter on January 2, 2020, deferring further action pending consideration and disposition of a related issue in In re Palmer, S252145. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.512(d)(2).) On August 19, 2019, the Board of Parole Hearings (the Board) adopted final regulations governing youth offender parole hearings, and those final regulations took effect on January 1, 2020. We dismissed review in In re Palmer on April 30, 2020, ‘[b]ecause those regulations now affect all of the Board's parole suitability determinations for youth offenders, and because the regulations were not in effect when the Board held the parole hearing at issue in [the Palmer] matter.' For the same reasons, review in the above-captioned matter is hereby dismissed. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.528(b)(1).)
Petitioner's motion for preference and/or bail, filed on May 15, 2020, is denied as moot.
