United States Ninth Circuit

On petition for review of a BIA order dismissing an appeal of an immigration judge's decision to deny various forms of relief from removal, the petition is dismissed in part and denied in part, where: 1) there was no error in the BIA's identification of the elements of the crime of making threats "with intent to terrorize" under California Penal Code section 422; 2) violation of section 422 is categorically a crime involving moral turpitude making the petitioner ineligible for admission to the United States; and 3) the petitioner's various other arguments had no merit.
