“[W]here Robinson was provided with notice .of the charges against him, where Robinson was represented by a staff member at both parole rescission hearings, where Robinson was given access to the Parole Board’s files in his case, where Robinson’s wife was present at the final hearing, and where there is sufficient support for the Board’s decision to rescind Robinson’s parole, Robinson’s due process rights in this context were not violated.”
