MEMORANDUM

Warden John Marshall contends that the district court erred when it granted George Ledesma’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d). We agree. When he was denied parole in November 2006, Ledesma received all process that was due to him. See Swarthout v. Cooke,—U.S.—, 131 S.Ct. 859, 862-63, 178 L.Ed.2d 732 (2011) (per curiam). Swarthout—decided while this appeal was pending — makes clear that federal habeas relief is not available based on the misapplication of California’s “some evidence” rule of judicial review. See id. at 861-63.

We direct the district court to enter judgment for Marshall and to deny Ledesma’s habeas petition.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
