BAROCIO, 19 I&N Dec. 255 (Comm. 1985) ID 2992 (PDF) (1) An alien who has violated a lawful order of deportation by failing to report to the Immigration and Naturalization Service following notification that his deportation has been scheduled does not merit the favorable exercise of discretion required for reopening of deportation proceedings. (2) Notice of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals sent to an alien's attorney of record constitutes notice to the alien. (3) The unsupported claim that the respondents' failure to depart voluntarily was due to their unawareness of the Board's decision does not demonstrate a compelling reason to warrantreinstatement of voluntary departure where the record reflects that notice of the decision was sent to counsel.
