Earlier today, the New York State Division of Parole informed 55-year-old Chapman that they had concerns "about the disregard [he] displayed for the norms of our society and the sanctity of human life."
It was nearly 30 years ago that Chapman gunned down the "Beatles" icon outside Lennon's NYC apartment.
A rep for Yoko Ono tells us she's "very pleased with the result" of today's hearing.
Chapman won't have another shot at freedom until August 2012 -- when he will become eligible for another parole review.
