Latter-Singh v. Holder Jr., No. 08-71277 (9th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CasePetitioner, a native and citizen of India, petitioned for review of the BIA's order dismissing his appeal. Petitioner claimed that the BIA wrongly determined that a violation of California Penal Code 422 constituted a crime involving moral turpitude (CIMT), thus rendering him removable. Although the court previously determined that a violation of section 422 was an aggravated felony, the court had not yet decided whether section 422 was categorically a crime involving moral turpitude. The court did so now and answered the question in the affirmative. The court also addressed and rejected petitioner's other claimed errors. Accordingly, the petition was dismissed in part and denied in part.
