MEMORANDUM

California state prisoner Albert Alvin Williams appeals from the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

Williams contends that the Board of Parole Hearings’s 2006 decision that he was unsuitable for parole was not supported by “some evidence” and therefore violated his due process rights. The only right at issue in the parole context is procedural, and the only proper inquiry is what process the inmate received, not whether the state court decided the case correctly. See Swarthout v. Cooke, — U.S. -, 131 S.Ct. 859, 862-63, 178 L.Ed.2d 732 (2011) (per curiam). Because Williams raises no procedural challenges, we affirm.

AFFIRMED.
