Victor E. Braun v. Immigration and Naturalization Service

Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

Decided May 12, 1993No. 91-70720PublishedCited by 48 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

D.W. NELSON, Circuit Judge:

Victor E. Braun (“Braun”) appeals the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) finding him statutorily ineligible for a waiver of deportation under Section 241(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1251(f) (“the Act”). Braun also appeals the BIA’s alternative ruling that, even if it had found him to be statutorily eligible, it still would exercise its discretion to deny a waiver in his case. We reverse, holding that Braun was statutorily eligible for a waiver, and that the BIA abused its discretion in denying the waiver.
