United States Fourth Circuit

Petition to review decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals finding petitioner deportable as an aggravated felon is denied in part and dismissed over claims of error that: 1) petitioner had in ineffective counsel, based on his counsel's decision to concede deportability for petitioner's conviction for reckless endangerment; and 2) reckless endangerment is not a "crime of violence" and thus could not have formed the basis of petitioner's deportation as an aggravated felon.
