Crisanto Ragasa v. Eric Holder, Jr.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided February 24, 2014 · Hawkins, McKeown, Bea
743 F.3d 688; 2014 WL 700458; 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 3434 (Federal Reporter, Third Series)

Crisanto Ragasa v. Eric Holder, Jr.

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.
