Faisal Al Hamid v. John Ashcroft

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that an alien’s affidavit did not meet Lozada requirements when the affidavit “recounted] Hamid’s allegations concerning what his counsel failed to do, but d[id] not mention what actions his counsel promised to undertake”
• finding no error where the BIA declined to waive “technical[ ] compl[iance]” with Lozada on a direct appeal of an IJ’s removal order
• applying Lozada to a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel in a deportation proceeding and explaining that “[s]ound policy reasons support compliance with the Lozada requirements”
• denying a similar request for equitable waiver and finding that sound policy reasons support compliance with the Lozada requirements because they facilitate a more thorough evaluation by the BIA and discourage baseless accusations
