1. Is the Ex Post Facto Clause of Article 6 of the United States Constitution violated when prison officials take away a determinate release date imposed by a court in 1996 and exchange it with an indeterminate release date based on retroactive laws enacted in 1999?
2. When 1999 laws were applied to petitioner's 1996 conviction to deny him parole for two years in 2021, and perhaps indefinitely, was the Oregon Board of Parole required to adhere to Himes v. Thompson, 336 F.3d 848 (9th Cir. 2003)(holding that the Oregon Board of Parole violated the Ex Post Facto Clause by applying 1994 laws to a prisoner's 1978 conviction)?
