United States Second Circuit

In a petition for review of the BIA's order pretermitting petitioner's application for cancellation of removal, the petition is denied 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.
