U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-3735
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. Because petitioner's 2003 Missouri
marijuana conviction is not a categorical match for the corresponding
federal offense in 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1101(a)(43)(B), petitioner's 2006 illegal
reentry conviction does not qualify as an aggravated felony under Sec.
1101(a)(43)(O); the BIA erred in denying the application for cancellation
of removal; reversed and remanded to the Board for further proceedings.
