Crisanto Ragasa v. Eric Holder, Jr.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit February 24, 2014

Crisanto Ragasa v. Eric Holder, Jr., 743 F.3d 688 (9th Cir. 2014)

2014 WL 700458; 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 3434

Opinion

ORDER

For the reasons to be set forth in a disposition to follow, we deny petitioner Ragasa’s claim for citizenship. However, we grant the petition for review because his Hawaii state conviction does not constitute a predicate offense for purposes of removability under Section 237(a)(2)(B)(i) of the INA. Therefore, we order the United States to release Ragasa from custody forthwith.
