  Denial Votes<\/p>\n

  \n
  • NR <\/strong>(Next Review): Deny parole and set time for next parole consideration.\u00a0 State law requires annual reviews except for certain violent or sexual cases.<\/li>\n
  • SA<\/strong> (Serve All): Deny parole with no regular subsequent review, requiring offender to serve balance of sentence if discharge date occurs in less than three years.<\/li>\n
  • CU-NR<\/strong>: Deny favorable action and set next review in consecutive sentence case.<\/li>\n
  • CU-SA<\/strong>: Require offender to serve all of current sentence in consecutive sentence case.<\/li>\n
  • DMS<\/strong>: Denies Mandatory Supervision (and sets next review date) because offender\u2019s accrued good conduct time does not accurately reflect potential for rehabilitation and offender\u2019s release would endanger the public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
