United States Ninth Circuit

In removal proceedings against a lawful permanent resident who had been convicted of misprision of a felony in violation of 18 USC section 4, a petition for review of the BIA's precedent decision finding removability is granted and the case remanded, where the BIA relied on a flawed rationale in concluding that misprision of a felony is categorically a crime involving moral turpitude.
