Jose Eduardo Camacho v. O. Ivan White, Warden, Federal Correctional Institution, Phoenix, Arizona

Jose Eduardo Camacho (“Camacho”) appeals the district court’s order granting habeas relief from his 1981 parole revocation and remanding his case to the U.S. Parole Commission (“Commission”) for a new parole revocation hearing. He also appeals the district court’s order denying habeas relief from his 1985 parole revocation. Camacho contends that the district court’s orders violate his fifth amendment rights to equal protection and due process. He argues that he should be awarded habe-as relief and an automatic restoration of all “street time” credits forfeited as a result of both his 1981 and 1985 parole revocations. We reject Camacho’s contentions and affirm the district court’s orders.
