The following excerpt is from D'Amato v. U.S. Parole Com'n, 837 F.2d 72 (2nd Cir. 1988):
With respect to the statutory right to a preliminary hearing, according to the plain language of Sec. 4214(a)(1), before such a right accrues, an alleged parole violator must be "summoned or retaken" by the execution of a parole violation warrant pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Sec. 4213. 7 See Thigpen v. United States Parole Comm'n, 707 F.2d 973, 976 (7th Cir.1983). Thus, the statutory right to a preliminary hearing, like the due process right, is triggered by the execution of a parole violation warrant.
