152024P.pdf   04/22/2016  Gerardo Perez Alonzo  v.  Loretta E. Lynch
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2024
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye and Benton, Circuit Judges] Petition for Review - Immigration. All four of petitioner's convictions under Iowa Code Section 708.2A, including his third and fourth convictions under Section 708.2A(4)'s recidivist provision, are dependent on the definition of assault in Section 708.1(2); because that section is divisible into turpitudinous and non-turpitudinous acts, petitioner's domestic abuse convictions do not categorically constitute crimes involving moral turpitude, and the BIA erred in declining to review petitioner's record of convictions, under the modified categorical approach, to determine whether he has been convicted under a subsection that describes a crime involving moral turpitude; the matter must, therefore, be remanded to the BIA to permit it to consider the issue in the first instance.
