United States Ninth Circuit


FLORES-CHAVEZ v. ASHCROFT, 01-70748

Because this juvenile was not given proper notice of his deportation proceedings, the BIA erred in failing to reopen his proceedings. The INS is required to serve notice both to the "juvenile," as defined in 8 C.F.R. section 242.24, and to the adult to whose custody he was released.
