Section 2637 - Central Office Calendar(a) General. The board at the central office calendar shall review the conduct and progress of parolees and consider parolees for the scheduling of revocation proceedings. The primary concern for the board at the central office calendar shall be for public safety as discussed in section 2646.(b) Decisions. The board at the central office calendar may make any decisions that do not require hearings. Examples of central office calendar decisions include: (1) To Suspend Parole Pending Further Determination. This decision shall be used for parolees who have absconded. The Board of Prison Terms may set the time of parole suspension from either the date of last contact with the parolee or, if contact has not been established, the date that the parolee failed to report as instructed. The parolee may produce evidence for reconsideration by the Board.(2) To Issue Warrants. This decision shall be used following suspension of parole for parolees who have absconded parole, and any other time that a law enforcement agency requires a warrant to support the arrest of a parolee.(3) To Order to Prison for Further Proceedings. This decision shall be used for parolees incarcerated by another state or the federal government.(4) To Schedule for Pre-revocation Proceedings. This decision shall be used when a parolee is suspected of a serious violation of parole and is within 30 days of discharge from parole. This decision may be used at any other time as appropriate under the facts of the case.(5) To Schedule for Limited Placement Proceedings. This decision shall be used for parolees charged with parole violations which, if true, would not appear sufficiently serious to warrant return to prison for an extended period, but who need placement in the Substance Abuse Treatment Control Unit (SATCU). The parolee will ordinarily be released within 90 days, but if further violations occur within the 90 days, full revocation proceedings may be scheduled.(6) To Schedule for Revocation Proceedings: Psychiatric Treatment. This decision shall be used when facts are presented indicating that the parolee is suffering from a mental disorder which substantially impairs his or her ability to maintain himself or herself in the community, or which makes him or her a danger to himself/herself or others, when necessary psychiatric treatment cannot be obtained in the community. This decision shall be made only after receipt of a written statement from a mental health professional who has conducted a face-to-face evaluation of the parolee, and found that the parolee is an individual described in § 2616(a)(14). This decision shall not be made when violations of another term or condition of parole are charged.(7) To Schedule for Revocation Proceedings. This decision shall be used for parolees charged with parole violations which, if true, would appear sufficiently serious to warrant return to prison.(8) To Dismiss Charge(s). This decision shall be used to dismiss charges which will not be considered at the scheduled hearing.(9) To Continue on Parole. This decision shall be used to continue a parolee on parole. If done "pending further determination" it may be used for a previously suspended parolee who does not need to be in custody pending a hearing.(10) Reinstate on Parole. This decision shall be made whenever a suspended parolee at large has been arrested in California, has been located in California or is available to return to California from another state or country. It indicates the date that the period of parole commences after having been tolled during the period the parolee was at large.(11) To Vacate Early Discharge Date. This decision shall be used in conjunction with the decisions listed in subsections (b)(1)-(b)(7) when a parolee, who was previously granted a discharge date earlier than the statutory maximum discharge date, will discharge on the early discharge date before any action ordered by the board can be completed. If an early discharge date is vacated, the statutory maximum discharge date becomes the discharge date.(12) Parole Period Extended Pending Revocation Hearing. This decision shall be used to retain jurisdiction when a parolee charged with a parole violation will discharge prior to a revocation hearing.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 15, § 2637
