Public code and process facts

Official definition
Officially shown as CU/NR: deny favorable action in a consecutive-sentence case and set the next review one year after the panel decision; for the offenses identified in the official text, the review may be any date within five years after the decision but never less than one calendar year after it.
In plain English
DENIED on a consecutive-sentence case; another review date was set. It is normally a year later, but listed offenses can be set one to five years out.
What happens next
1. The panel denies favorable action and identifies a month, year, and cause number. 2. The next review is set one year after the decision, or one to five years after it for specified offenses. 3. The later review process begins before that date under the review-page schedule.
What you can do now
  • Record the month, year, and cause number.
  • Keep the official decision correspondence.
  • Confirm which consecutive sentence the cause number identifies.
  • Prepare updated support information before the next review.
Families often get this wrong
CU-NR, shown as CU/NR by the Board, is tied to consecutive sentences and is not the same label as an ordinary NR vote.
