Grant of Petition for Review of BIA Order

In Saavedra-Figueroa v. Holder, No. 05-75210, a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)’s determination that petitioner was removable because he had been convicted of an aggravated felony and two crimes of moral turpitude, the court granted the petition where 1) the BIA’s determination was not entitled to Chevron deference, because the BIA did not issue or rely on a precedential decision; and 2) although petitioner admitted both prior misdemeanor convictions, there was no record evidence of the factual allegations underlying his second conviction.
