How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • suggesting that the jurisdictional effect of lack of exhaustion where the government fails to object was an open issue
  • stating that aliens may not collaterally attack state convictions through habeas petition challenging a BIA removal order
  • noting that we may exercise hypothetical jurisdiction where jurisdictional question is statutory, not constitutional
  • describing BIA definition of theft as \simi- lar\ to definition adopted by Third, Seventh, Ninth, and Tenth Cir- cuits, and distinguishing Corona-Sanchez
  • “Accepting Abimbola’s position [that third degree larceny does not require proof of intent] would require a conclusion that intent to deprive is not a requirement of first and second-degree larceny in Connecticut.”
  • “As the plain lan- guage indicates, ‘conviction’ includes a guilty plea. An Alford plea is a guilty plea.”
