Respondent Rick Hill, Warden at Folsom State Prison, appeals from the superior court’s December 9, 2011 order granting inmate James L. Stevenson’s petition for writ of habeas corpus and compelling the Board of Parole Hearings (Board) to provide petitioner a new parole consideration hearing.1 Petitioner James L. Stevenson is currently serving an indeterminate life term for a 1998 conviction of kidnapping to commit robbery (Pen. Code, § 209, subd. (b)).2
