United States Sixth Circuit

Petition for review of a denial of a request for a waiver of inadmissibility is denied over petitioner's contentions that: 1) the denial of the waiver under the repealed section 212(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act was an unconstitutional denial of equal protection and due process; 2) the denial was based upon the erroneous conclusion that applicable statutes did not contain a ground of exclusion that was comparable to the ground on which the petitioner-s order of removal was based; and 3) the BIA erred by designating only a single member to hear the administrative appeal.
