1. “it may be argued that petitioner’s failure to file supervision reports and to report his arrest constitute a failure to obey a Commission “order” insofar as he was required to do those things as a condition of parole, such a broad reading of “order” would cause the exception to swallow the rule. A more reasonable reading of the exception is that it applies to a parolee who disregards a “request, order, summons, or warrant” directed at him specifically, and not merely a general requirement of parole supervision.”
