1Opinion of the Court
CANBY, Circuit Judge.
In this case we are asked to determine whether second degree malicious mischief, as defined in the Revised Code of Washington (“ROWS”) § 9A.48.080, is necessarily a crime involving “moral turpitude” for purposes of establishing deportability under § 241(a)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality Act,- 8 U.S.C. § 1251(a)(4) (1988). 1 Because Washington’s crime of malicious mischief in the second degree is a relatively minor offense and does not necessarily involve a base act contrary to moral standards, we hold that it does not qualify as a crime of moral turpitude.
