Tang v. Ashcroft

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that pending motion for change of venue did not excuse alien’s attendance at hearing
• observing that an ineffective-assistance claim in the immigration context requires deficient performance that denies the alien a fundamentally fair proceeding
• noting no abuse of discretion by BIA’s denial of motion to reopen where petitioner failed to comply with Lozada
• declining to “decide whether substantial compliance [with Lozada] would be sufficient because [the petitioner] . . . made no attempt to comply with any of Lozada’s requirements”
• assuming without deciding that counsel’s deficient performance can amount to exceptional circumstances
