Notes of Decisions

   Admission of Evidence

   Laboratory reports were properly admitted during a hearing for technical violations under this section because the persons with knowledge of the reports were beyond the Board’s subpoena power. Damron v. Board of Probation and Parole, 531 A.2d 592 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1987).

   Frivolous Appeal

   A petitioner’s appeal was frivolous since the court will not review the Board’s discretion in imposing an amount of backtime for parole violations where the violations are supported by substantial evidence, and the backtime imposed is within the presumptive range for those violations. Strothers v. Board of Probation and Parole, 554 A.2d 1017 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1989).
