United States Second Circuit
Vartelas v. Holder, 09-0649
On remand from the Supreme Court's decision in Vartelas v. Holder, 132 S. Ct. 1479 (2012), which implicitly required the conclusion that the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) change should not be applied to petitioner retroactively, the case is remanded to the BIA to consider whether he was prejudiced by his attorney's failure to argue the issue of retroactivity.
