Rise v. Board of Parole

*387GILLETTE, J.

This case involves the effect, if any, that a plea agreement between a criminal defendant and a district attorney can have on the Board of Parole’s subsequent decisions regarding the defendant’s parole date. The Board in the present case determined that it was not “bound” by the terms of such a plea agreement, and the Court of Appeals affirmed without opinion. Rise v. Board of Parole, 84 Or App 741, 735 P2d 380 (1987). We hold that the Board was not bound by the terms of the plea agreement and that it did not err in refusing to enforce the agreement. Accordingly, we affirm.
