Fontilea v. Mukasey
Fontilea v. Mukasey
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Arthur Reyes Fontilea appeals the BIA decision that found him ineligible for a waiver of inadmissibility under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c) because he was convicted of an aggravated felony and served more than 5 years. We deny his petition.
Konstantinova v. INS
Res judicata did not apply because the decision was not final before the BIA ruled.
The relevant language of the waiver of inadmissibility statute is that it “shall not apply to an alien who has been convicted of one of more aggravated felonies and has served for such felony or felonies a term of imprisonment of at least 5 years.”
Petition DENIED.
