Herman Tracy Clark v. Jerold Braggs, Warden

Whether the word “shall” binds the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board decision that must be pursued in the ordinary mode prescribed by law, to be adapted to the end to be attained in respect to the justice of the Governor who has the sole power to grant commutation subject to the regulations prescribed by law to protect Petitioner’s liberty interest under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment? Whether impartiality binds the Pardon and Parole Board is-to preserve the impartiality of the state and preserve the appearance of the impartiality of the state in respect to the Petitioner’s interest in the reason for the Pardon and Parole Board’s decision? And, do a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 AEDPA restriction also bar grieving the Government for redress of the Pardon and Parole Board’s commutation and parole consideration procedure challenging the duration of his physical imprisonment by way of a 28 U.S.C. § 2241, relief seeking a determination that entitles immediate release or a speedier release with a definite sentence?
