district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We have

jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253. We review de novo a district court’s decision
to deny a habeas petition, see Lambert v. Blodgett, 393 F.3d 943, 964 (9th Cir.
2004), and we affirm.
Crawley contends that the Board of Parole Hearings’s 2006 decision to deny
him parole was not supported by “some evidence” and therefore violated his due
process rights. He also challenges the validity of the “some evidence” standard.
The only federal 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, 131 S. Ct. 859, 863 (2011)
(per curiam). Because Crawley raises no procedural challenges, we affirm.
AFFIRMED.
