United States Eighth Circuit

Petition for review of a removal order and denial of request to cancel removal proceedings is denied where: 1) the IJ did not err in admitting hearsay evidence as it is admissible at an immigration proceeding if the information is probative and if its admission is fundamentally fair; 2) government's action was not time barred under 8 U.S.C. sec. 1256(a); 3) the IJ did not err in finding plaintiff removable from the U.S. under 8 U.S.C. sec. 1182(a)(6) and (7); and 4) plaintiff did not qualify for cancellation of removal proceedings under 8 U.S.C. sec. 1229b(a) as he had not been lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
