Vahora v. Holder, No. 08-71618
In a petition for review of an administrative order denying an application for asylum by petitioner, an Indian Sunni Muslim, on the ground that his application was untimely, 8 C.F.R. section 208.4(a)(2), denial is reversed where destruction of home and farm house owned by petitioner, and the disappearance of his brother attributable to his religious affiliation, constituted a changed circumstance such that his untimely petition is excused under 8 C.F.R. section 208.4(a)(5). Read more...

United States Ninth Circuit, 04/07/2011
Reyes-Torres v. Holder, No. 08-74452

US v. Delgado-Ramos, No. 09-50580
Conviction and sentencing of defendant for attempted entry after deportation, 8 U.S.C. section 1326(a)-(b), is affirmed where failure of district court to inform him of the immigration consequences of his plea during his plea colloquy was not prejudicial error because even where Padilla v. Kentucky has overruled Circuit precedent, the decision does not undercut the theory or reasoning underlying Amador-Lea so as to afford the defendant a remand. Read more...
