   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-2007
   Immigration & Naturalization Service   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Wollman and Bye, Circuit
   Judges]
   Petition for Review - Immigration. The court joins the BIA, Third
   Circuit and Ninth Circuit in holding that an alien who enters the U.S. as a
   refugee, subsequently adjusts his status to a permanent lawful resident,
   and is thereafter convicted of an aggravated felony or a crime of moral
   turpitude may be placed in removal proceedings, even though his refugee
   status was never terminated; court lacked jurisdiction to review the BIA's
   alternative finding that petitioner was removable by reason of having
   committed a criminal offense covered in section...1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) of 8
   U.S.C. Sec. 1252(a)(2)(C), and court would not consider petitioner's
   challenge to the other stated basis for the decision.
