Can a hearing officer grant an adjournment of a parole revocation hearing?

Turning then to the case before us, we must decide whether the due process rights to which the petitioner was clearly entitled were violated by the denial of an adjournment of the parole revocation hearing. While it is not inconceivable that due process would require a hearing officer to grant an adjournment, we cannot conclude on the record before us that an adjournment was required in this case. It is the petitioner's obligation to raise issues meriting the adjournment to the hearing officer. In this case, petitioner did no more than argue that People ex rel. Dowdy v. Smith, supra, would require dismissal of the proceeding if his criminal trial resulted in an acquittal or dismissal. If petitioner felt any other of his constitutionally protected rights were being jeopardized by the parole revocation hearing being held prior to the criminal trial, it was his obligation to raise these claims to the hearing officer. Not only did petitioner fail to do so, but at no point in t hearing did he raise any claim which would indicate that any of his constitutionally protected rights were being jeopardized by the manner in which the hearing was being conducted.
