U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 02-3961
Agency
Petition for Review - Immigration. Petitioner's request for cancellation
of removal was properly denied because he had previously voluntarily
departed from the U.S. under threat of deportation; Attorney General's
interpretation that this constituted a break in continuous physical presence
in the U.S. is reasonable and consistent with the Illegal Immigration
Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. [PUBLISHED]
