United States Supreme Court
Holder v. Martinez Gutierrez, 10-1542
A Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denial of cancellation of removal is upheld, where: 1) the aliens lacked the required years of continuous presence and lawful permanent resident status; and 2) the BIA's rejection of imputation of their parents' years of continuous presence and lawful permanent resident status was based on a permissible construction of the cancellation of removal statute, 8 USC section 1229b(a).
