United States Second Circuit

In an immigration matter, petition to review decision ordering removal of petitioner to the U.K. under 8 U.S.C. section 1231(b)(2)is granted where the Board of Immigration Appeals' decision did not permit adequate appellate review because it did not sufficiently explain why it designated the U.K. as the a country of removal, since petitioner was in the U.K. for only a few hours during a stopover en route to the U.S. and had no legal right to live or travel there.
