United States First Circuit

In a petition by a Portuguese national seeking judicial review of a final order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), denying his motion to terminate removal proceedings and mandating his deportation, the denial of petition is affirmed where his shoplifting conviction remains a "formal judgment of guilt," 8 U.S.C. section 1101(a)(48)(A), and endures for immigration law purposes.
