   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-1264
   Agency   
   Petition for review - Immigration law. Court has jurisdiction 
   under 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1105a(a) to review the Board of 
   Immigration Appeals' finding on moral character under 
   any aspect of 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1101(f); an ILJ may consider 
   expunged convictions in making a moral character 
   determination in conjunction with an application for 
   suspension of deportation; Board's interpretation of 
   8 U.S.C. Sec. 1254(a)(3) to permit consideration of 
   past, pre-statutory conduct in determining present moral 
   character is reasonable; however, while conduct predating 
   the relevant statutory period may be considered relevant, 
   such conduct cannot be used as the sole basis for an 
   adverse finding on that element; here, the Board's decision 
   that petitioner had failed to establish good moral character 
   during the three year statutory period was supported by 
   substantial evidence and Board's determination that 
   petitioner was not eligible for discretionary suspension 
   of deportation is affirmed.
