How courts have described this case

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

• holding that an alien’s misunderstanding as to the correct month of her hearing as told to her in Spanish, her native language, by an interpreter was not an exceptional circumstance
• holding that such a “mistake falls short of the exceptional circumstances that have excused nonappearance in other cases” and “is nowhere near the illustrative examples given in the statute” (citations omitted)
• no exceptional circumstance where alien misheard Spanish word for “July” instead of “June” and thus missed June hearing
