Wilson v. Immigration & Naturalization Service

Petitioner Morris Winston Wilson seeks review of an order of deportation issued by the Immigration Judge and affirmed by the Board of Immigration Appeals. The deportation order was issued because of Wilson’s conviction for possession of marijuana in Dallas County, Texas. Wilson challenges the order, contending that the Board’s standard for conviction is contrary to congressional intent and to Supreme Court precedent, and alternatively arguing that his conviction was not final for purposes of deportation. Finding no merit in his contentions, we affirm the decision of the Board.
