Jose Alanniz v. William Barr
Petitioner's parole did not qualify as an 'admission' under 8 U.S.C. Section 1229b(a), and petitioner's conviction within seven years of obtaining lawful permanent resident status made him ineligible for cancellation of removal. 		Immigration 9th May 21, 2019

Lopez-Aguilar v. Barr
Although Oregon Revised Statutes Section 164.395 incorporates theft by deception and generic theft does not, it was merely theoretical that Oregon would prosecute such conduct; thus, it qualified as categorical theft offense. 		Immigration 9th Apr. 24, 2019
U.S. v. State of California
The intergovernmental immunity doctrine and conflict preemption doctrine did not provide grounds for fully enjoining enforcement of California immigration statutes AB 450, AB 103, and SB 54. 		Immigration 9th Apr. 19, 2019

Under the theft framework, a violation of Oregon Revised Statutes Section 164.395, a crime of robbery in the third degree, is not categorically a crime involving moral turpitude. 		Immigration 9th Mar. 29, 2019

The court lacks jurisdiction and judicial review of a denial of certification for appeal is improper when the Board of Immigration bases its decision on its discretionary powers. 		Immigration 9th Dec. 14, 2018

Melgoza Guerrero v. Whitaker
'Particularly serious crime' within the meaning of 8 U.S.C. Section 1231(b)(3)(B)(ii) not unconstitutionally vague because although it is an uncertain standard, it applies to real world facts. 		Immigration 9th Nov. 12, 2018
