223653P.pdf   02/27/2024  Israel Amador-Morales  v.  Merrick Garland
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-3653
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Shepherd and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. The BIA properly declared that its 
   decision in Matter of Fernandez, 28 I. & N. Dec. 605 (BIA 2022), was not 
   an intervening change in the law that would excuse petitioner's forfeiture 
   of an objection to the Notice to Appear; through counsel, petitioner 
   admitted the DHS's allegations and conceded removability, and there were 
   no egregious circumstances which would prevent application of the general 
   rule that the admission bound petitioner; because petitioner could still 
   pursue prosecutorial discretion, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in 
   denying a remand. Judge Kelly, dissenting.
