  • noting that the plaintiff had not presented evidence that prisoners with comparable or worse criminal records received parole
  • requiring a plaintiff demonstrate “more than the prisoner’s personal belief that he is the victim of retaliation”
  • showing of retaliation must be more than the prisoner’s personal belief that he has been the victim of retaliation
  • inmates cannot challenge state parole procedures under either substantive or procedural due process because they have no liberty interest in parole
  • “The protections of the Due Process Clause are only invoked when State procedures which may produce erroneous or unreliable results imperil a protected liberty or property interest.”
  • “It is therefore axiomatic that because Texas prisoners have no protected liberty interest in parole they cannot mount a challenge against any state parole review procedure on procedural (or substantive) Due Process grounds.”
