United States Ninth Circuit

Petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' decision finding petitioner ineligible for relief under former Immigration and Nationality Act section 212(c) because his conviction for an aggravated felony was the result of a trial, is granted, where the repeal of section 212(c) relief impermissibly attaches new legal consequences to the trial convictions of aliens like petitioner by rendering them ineligible for relief as a result of convictions that predated the repeal of section 212(c).
