BEN H. CANTRELL, P.J., M.S.,
delivered the opinion of the court,
in which WILLIAM B. CAIN, J. and VERNON NEAL, Sp. J., joined.
OPINION
The Board of Paroles declined to parole a prisoner in the custody of the Department of Correction. He claimed that the Parole Board violated the constitutional prohibition against ex post facto laws by following a different procedure to reach its decision than was in effect at the time of his crime. The trial court dismissed the prisoner’s complaint for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted. We affirm the trial court.
