Chapter 5 – Adult Custody and Security Operations

54100.29 Term Computation Appeals

• Whenever an inmate or parolee files a CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 602 which sets forth a specific, clearly stated claim regarding an error in the computation of a term of confinement or period of parole based upon documentation in the record, and the issue is not resolved (granted) at the first level, the inmate or parolee may request a computation review hearing. (Reference: Haygood v. Younger, (1985)-769 F. 2d 1350.)

  • Other classification, pay or work time issue appeals shall be addressed by a classification committee or work supervisor, and shall not warrant a computation hearing.

  • The only issue to be determined in the hearing is whether or not an error has been committed which adversely affects a term of confinement or period of parole.

  • The computation review hearing, when scheduled, shall constitute the second level of review.
