United States Second Circuit

Plaintiff's petition for a writ of habeas corpus is dismissed over his challenges that 1) his plea to larceny was not a conviction, 2) a Connecticut third-degree larceny does not qualify as an aggravated felony, 3) the district court abused its discretion in denying a motion to change venue, and 4) the Immigration Judge improperly decided credibility determinations.
