In theory yes, but without the specifics of the case it's hard to say more.

First off, what was the crime?  Was it violent or non-violent?  Was it a sex-related offense?  Do you have a good conduct record in prison?  Do you have any other convictions?  Does your sentence carry a mandatroy incarceration period?

Parole is a discretionary matter.  It's up to the parole board to say for sure.
