192842P.pdf   02/11/2021  Laith Shazi  v.  Monty Wilkinson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-2842
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Benton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] Petition for Review - Immigration. Once an alien is found to have committed a particularly serious crime, the agency need not engage in a separate determination to address whether the alien is a danger to the community, and the IJ and the BIA did not err in failing to consider petitioner's likelihood of future misconduct in determining whether to revoke his grant of withholding of removal; the BIA's categorical ban on mental health evidence as a factor in the "particularly serious crime" determination is unreasonable and the court reaffirms its position that all reliable information pertaining to the nature of the crime, including evidence of mental health conditions, may be considered in the particularly serious crime analysis; the court lacks jurisdiction to review a claim that IJ and BIA erred in finding petitioner's testimony not credible as the claims relate to the termination of petitioner's statutory withholding of removal; to the extent this adverse credibility determination impacted petitioner's claim for CAT relief, the agency's credibility determination was supported by specific, cogent reasons, including citations to materials in the record, and would be affirmed; the agency's adverse determination regarding whether petitioner had established that it was more likely than not that he would be tortured on return to Iraq is affirmed; the BIA did not abuse its discretion denying petitioner's motion for a remand for consideration of additional evidence on the question of torture; the petition for review is granted for further consideration of petitioner's mental health in determining whether he was barred from withholding of removal based on the commission of a particularly serious crime.
