Pinkerton alleges over a dozen constitutional violations related to the 2004-
2007 parole proceedings and the United States Parole Commission’s decisions
denying parole. We reject Pinkerton’s claims for the reasons stated by the district
court.
Pinkerton also contends that, under 28 C.F.R. § 2.53 and 18 U.S.C.
§ 4206(d), he should be paroled from his life sentence effective January 11, 2007.
Pinkerton has failed to show that he is entitled to relief on this claim.
AFFIRMED.
