Medina-Lara v. Holder

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit August 25, 2014

Medina-Lara v. Holder, 767 F.3d 801 (9th Cir. 2014)

2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 16483; 2014 WL 4187396

Opinion

ORDER

For reasons to be set forth in a disposition which will follow in due course, we grant Medina-Lara’s petition for review because the government did not meet its burden to show that his California convictions constitute predicate offenses for purposes of removability under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2). We, therefore, order the United States to release Medina-Lara from custody immediately.

SO ORDERED.
