Meredith Moon Taulbee v. State of Florida

How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that the court need not give Chevron deference to a BIA interpretation that is “unreasonable” in that it is “arbitrary, capricious, or manifestly contrary to the statute”
  • noting that this Court has “suggested that standards of review cannot be waived and that Chevron deference is such a standard of review”
  • noting that “whether [the applicant] met his burden that he was actually in the” particular social group is an inquiry distinct from the group’s particularity
  • noting that the particularity and social distinction requirements for a cognizable particular social group “serve distinct purposes, and it is important to consider them separately and with integrity to their purposes”
  • rejecting the “conflation of the particularity requirement with the social distinction requirement”
  • “An interpretation is unreasonable under Chevron deference if it is arbitrary, capricious, or manifestly contrary to the statute.” (internal quotation marks omitted)
