Antonio Claro Rodriguez, Petitioner, v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, Respondent, 97 F.3d 1460 (9th Cir. 1996)
Annotate this CasePetition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals, No. A70-151-367.
B.I.A.
REVIEW DENIED.
Before: KOZINSKI and LEAVY, Circuit Judges, and SCHWARZER,** District Judge.
MEMORANDUM***
Petitioner claims that the BIA erred in rejecting his claim for Suspension of Deportation under Section 244(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1254(a). In making its decision, the BIA considered the effect deportation would have on petitioner's musical career, along with the other relevant factors, and nevertheless rejected his application. Since the INS is authorized to construe the definition of "extreme hardship" narrowly, INS v. Jong Ha Wang, 450 U.S. 139, 145 (1981) (per curiam), this decision was not an abuse of discretion.
DENIED.
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4
