U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-3032
and No: 20-1259
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Loken, Circuit
Judge]
Petition for Review - Immigration. The Board of Immigration Appeals did
not err in determining that petitioner's Iowa conviction for possession of
a controlled substance in violation of Iowa Code Section 124.401(5)
disqualified him from relief in the form of cancellation of removal as the
Iowa statute is divisible as to marijuana offenses such as his; no error
in the Board's decision to deny petitioner's motion for reconsideration as
it acted within its discretion in interpreting the arguments raised in the
motion as new and clearly distinct from what had been raised in
petitioner's appeal.
