120 CMR - PAROLE BOARD
Title 120 CMR 303.00 - Revocation of Parole
Section 303.07 - Postponement of Preliminary Revocation Hearing
Universal Citation: 120 MA Code of Regs 120.303
Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024
(1) A parolee may request postponement of the preliminary parole revocation hearing. Such postponement request may be made prior to or at the beginning of the preliminary revocation hearing.
(2) The hearing examiner may postpone the preliminary parole revocation hearing for reasons including, but not limited to:
(a) in order for the parolee to obtain
representation by an attorney;
(b)
in order for the parolee to arrange for the attendance of witnesses;
(c) the parolee did not receive proper
notice;
(d) the hearing examiner
has insufficient information upon which to conduct a meaningful
hearing;
(e) to obtain the services
of an interpreter; or
(f) the
parolee is committed to a facility for mental health treatment or for
detoxification. A commitment to such a facility interrupts the running of a
warrant for temporary custody of a parolee issued under M.G.L. c. 127, §
149A.
(3) Where such hearing is postponed, a second warrant for temporary custody may issue, as provided in 120 CMR 303.04(3). Postponed preliminary revocation hearings shall be rescheduled as expeditiously as possible.
