United States Ninth Circuit

In an immigration action contending that petitioner was eligible for cancellation of removal under 8 U.S.C. section 1229b(b)(1)(A), on the grounds that he continued to accrue continuous physical presence after being served with a notice to appear in removal proceedings (NTA), the petition for review was dismissed in part and the court held that the Board of Immigration's decision that an NTA without the date and time of appearance stops the accrual period, as decided by In re Camarrillo, 25 I. & N. Dec. 644 (B.I.A. 2011), is a reasonable construction of an ambiguous statute entitled to Chevron deference.
