Rivera v. Singletary

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida denied Abel Rivera's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that the Florida Parole Commission possesses broad statutory authority to grant or deny credit for time spent on Conditional Release when that release is revoked. The Court rejected Rivera's argument that the absence of explicit statutory language, under the doctrine of inclusio unius est exclusio alterius, precludes such authority, applying the same reasoning as in Gay v. Singletary.
