United States Ninth Circuit

On petition for review of a BIA decision denying an application for voluntary departure, arguing that the petitioner was not removable for committing two crimes involving moral turpitude, the petition is denied, where the BIA did not err in concluding that the petitioner's conviction under section 647(b) of the California Penal Code for disorderly conduct involving solicitation of prostitution constituted a conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude.
