   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-2910
                          and No:  19-3019
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, for the Court En Banc] 
   Prisoner case - Civil rights. The district court erred in determining the 
   State of Missouri's parole review practices concerning juvenile homicide 
   offenders were constitutionally deficient; the parole-review regime for 
   juvenile homicide offenders complies with the Supreme Court's dictates in 
   Miller and Montgomery, and did not violate the plaintiffs' Eighth 
   Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment; the parole regime 
   is not a sham, and it provides the offenders, if it is required for 
   offenders in their status, with "some meaningful opportunity to obtain 
   release based on demonstrated maturity and rehabilitation; the plaintiffs 
   had no liberty interest in being released from prison before expiration of 
   their sentences and their due process claim must fail. Judge Kelly, 
   dissenting, joined by Chief Judge Smith and Judge Arnold.
