Denial of Petition for Review of Moral Turpitude-Based Removal
In Baraket v. Holder, No. 09-0739, a petition for review of the BIA’s order pretermitting petitioner’s application for cancellation of removal, the court denied the petition where petitioner committed acts between October 2001 and December 2001 that constituted a crime involving moral turpitude, and the BIA therefore properly pretermitted his application for cancellation of removal on the grounds that, within the meaning of 8 U.S.C. section 1229b(a)(2), he had not continuously resided in the U.S. for seven years after his lawful entry in May 1996.
