Agyei v. Holder
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
LIPEZ, Circuit Judge.
Petitioner Akwasi Agyei seeks review of the agency’s decision that he was ineligible for adjustment of status and cancellation of removal, as well as the denial of his motion to reconsider and reopen. The agency’s actions were premised on the finding that he had materially misrepresented to immigration officials the circumstances of his marriage, thereby making him statutorily ineligible for the relief he seeks. Agyei challenges this factual finding and the related determinations of ineligibility. He also raises due process and ineffective assistance of counsel claims.
