United States Second Circuit

In the case of a lawful permanent resident appealing the denial of relief due to a NY criminal conviction, the court found that: 1) the NY conviction arose from an indivisible statute, and; 2) applying the categorical approach, determined that it did not constitute an aggravated felony, for which reason they then vacated the finding of ineligibility for relief and remanded for further proceedings.
