034018P.pdf   08/10/2005  Eugenio Cuadra  v.  John Ashcroft
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-4018
   Agency   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Heaney and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. The plain and unambiguous 
   language of the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act 
   provides that the alien seeking relief must establish good moral character 
   during the period of required physical presence and that period ends when 
   the petitioner files his application; therefore, petitioner's conduct in lying 
   to an asylum officer after he made his application could not be considered 
   in determining whether he was entitled to relief, and the ALJ erred in 
   finding petitioner was statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal. 
   Judge Melloy, dissenting.
