The Board will consider recommending a full pardon for a sentence of probation only upon a showing of receipt of maximum relief available through the court of conviction, and then, only in an extreme or unusual circumstance which prevents the applicant from gaining a livelihood or in the event of loss of civil rights. The burden of showing such extreme or unusual circumstance rests upon the applicant.
