How courts have described this case

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

• finding that an appellant’s failure to file a brief cannot be attributed to a deficiency in the BIA’s notice procedures when counsel’s actions clearly show that the failure was due to his oversight and error
• discussing the level of specificity needed to challenge an IJ’s decision to adequately apprise the BIA of the issues on appeal
• explaining that an attorney’s failure to timely file an appellate brief “give[s] rise, not to a claim that the BIA’s summary dismissal procedures denied the petitioner due process, but instead to a claim that he was denied effective assistance by his counsel”
• remanding in light of BIA’s failure to address ineffective assistance of counsel claim
• summary dismissal for failure to file a brief or specify the grounds for appeal did not violate petitioner’s due process rights
