As soon as possible but no later than two weeks in advance of the hearing, a prisoner or parolee shall be notified of the specific date of the hearing. Department staff shall provide notification of the hearing.
(b) Attorney. A prisoner shall be entitled to the assistance of a California attorney at telephone hearings (see subsection (d) below) in all cases where the prisoner would be entitled to the assistance of an attorney if the hearing were to be held in California and the prisoner could personally appear before the board.
(c) Disclosure. A prisoner is entitled to review nonconfidential documents in the department central file. The department is responsible for establishing the procedures for such review. A prisoner is responsible for complying with the department procedures for review of the documents. A prisoner shall have the opportunity to enter a written response to any material in the file.

A prisoner who is dissatisfied with the disclosure may appeal pursuant to department procedures. (See Title 15, California Administrative Code, Section 3003).

(d) Hearing.
(1) General. The prisoner has a right to either a telephone hearing conducted by the board at the central office calendar through the use of such telephone equipment as will permit him to participate in the entire proceeding or a hearing conducted in the other jurisdiction by officials of that jurisdiction.
(2) Determination. The prisoner shall receive a telephone hearing unless the hearing is being conducted to determine whether the individual has violated a condition of parole or engaged in conduct which may result in the rescission or postponement of a parole date; the issue has not been settled against the prisoner in a criminal prosecution; and:
(A) The prisoner has made a timely request for the presence of friendly witnesses in order to demonstrate essential facts;
(B) The factual issues involved are complex;
