Felipe Espino-Castillo v. Eric Holder, Jr.

How courts have described this case

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

• recognizing that “[a] court may not apply the modified categorical approach if the statute proscribes only conduct that involves moral turpitude” (internal quotation marks omitted)
• explaining that Beltmn-Tirado was, “at best, ... an isolated exception to the prevailing rule that a conviction for a fraud offense is categorically a [CIMT] ”
• recognizing the “longstanding rule that crimes that have fraud as an element are categorically crimes involving moral turpitude,” and a “court may not apply the modified categorical approach if the statute proscribes only conduct that involves moral turpitude”
• finding Beltran-Tirado inapplicable “because [its] holding VASQUEZ-BORJAS V. GARLAND 15 depended on the history of the specific statutory provision involved in that case, and not a garden-variety state fraud statute”
