without stating reasons, is an appropriate exercise
of that discretion. Pittman v. Pennsylvania Board
of Probation and Parole, 131 A.3d 604 (Pa. Commw.
2016)(en banc), petition for allowance of appeal
granted at 56 MAP 2016 (May 23, 2016) (The issue
is: "Did the Parole Board abuse it discretion by
summarily denying petitioner credit against his maximum sentence for time that he spent at liberty on
parole following his recommitment as a convicted
parole violator?"). In contrast, a parolee revoked
for a technical violation "shall be given credit for
the time served on parole in good standing." 61 Pa.
C.S. §6138 (c)(2).
E.g., Riddle v. W.C.A.B., 981 A.2d 1288, 1291 (Pa.
2009) (word "shall" in statute imposes mandatory
duty).
See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Bigelow, 399 A.2d 392,
395 (Pa. 1979)("word of exception 'unless' . . . is a
proviso" placing burden on party to prove facts to
establish exception).
1 Pa.C.S. §1903(b).
See, Greenholtz v. Inmates of Nebraska, 442 U.S. 1,
11-12 (1979); Board of Pardons v. Allen, 482 U.S. 369
(1987); Crump v. Lafler, 657 F. 3d 393, 399 (6th Cir.
2011).
Commonwealth v. Scott, 698 A.2d 32 (Pa. 1997).
Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole v. Scott,
524 U.S. 357, 364 (1998).
61 P.S. §6153; 42 Pa.C.S. §9912; and 42 Pa. C.S.
§6304; see also, In Re: J.E., 937 A.2d 421 (Pa. 2007)
(search of juvenile's person and home without
reasonable suspicion violated 42 Pa. C.S. §6304 and
the Fourth Amendment).
Commonwealth v. Johnson, 86 A.3d 182, 188 (Pa.
2014) (holding under Article I, § 8 that suppression
is mandated where defendant was arrested on
an expired arrest warrant, and refusing to adopt
United States Supreme Court's Fourth Amendment

"good faith" exception).
See, Commonwealth v. Khiri Arter, 63 MAP 2015.The
allocatur grant in Khiri Arter was this: Whether the
Superior Court erred in upholding the Revocation
Court's denial of Petitioner's motion to exclude
evidence obtained in violation of the Petitioner's
privacy rights under Article I, Section 8 of the
Pennsylvania Constitution? See, Order (July 28,
2015).
See generally, e.g., Morrissey v. Brewer, 408 U.S.
471, 477 (1972)(due process requires proof that "the
parolee has in fact acted in violation of one or more
conditions of his parole"); Wagner v. Pennsylvania
Board of Probation and Parole, 498 A.2d 1007,
1009 (Pa. Commw. 1985)("fashioning of a condition
over which a parolee would have no control would
amount to an abuse of this (Board's) authority.").
Fehnel v. Pennsylvania Board of Probation and
Parole, 2011 WL 10893887 (Pa. Commw. 2011)
(unreported memorandum opinion)(revocation as
a result of a program discharge reversed because
specific conduct allegedly justifying discharge not
adequately proven); Hudak v. Pennsylvania Board
of Probation and Parole, 757 A.2d 439, 441-42 (Pa.
Commw. 2000) (where discharge from program
was for medical reasons parolee not shown to
be somewhat at fault, therefore revocation not
justified); see also, Commonwealth v. Heilman, 876
A.2d 1021, 1028 (Pa. Super. 2005) (determination
whether discharge from treatment program
justified revocation could not be made "since the
(probation) court failed to inquire [into] the specific
reasons for his discharge").
E.g., Commonwealth v. Brown, 469 A.2d 1371, 1373
n.2 (Pa. 1983); Commonwealth v. Del Conte, 419
A.2d 780, 781 (Pa. Super. 1980).
Commonwealth v. Marchesano, 544 A.2d 1333, 1336
(Pa. 1988).
