View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: A district court properly denied an employee's motion to remand his case to state court because his claims that a union's agreement with his employer to submit his wrongful discharge claim to arbitration constituted fraud required an analysis of the CBA and, thus, arose under federal law, pursuant to § 301(a) of the LMRA.

View this case - free  

Overview: Employer's petition for review of a decision of the Benefits Review Board was denied on the merits because the Board properly referred to the definition of disabled employee as construed by the Director of the Office of Workers' Compensation and the Board did not err when it considered the merits of the employee's challenge to the forfeiture order.

Xi Li v. United States DOJ, No. 05-0186-ag NAC, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT, January 18, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: An adverse credibility finding was not supported by substantial evidence because an IJ engaged in speculation as to how an alien's parents-in-law reacted to his out-of-wedlock cohabitation and why his wife's doctors did not give her an IUD and based the finding on perceived inconsistencies that did not go to the heart of the asylum claim.

Xia v. INS, No. 02-4736-ag NAC, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT, January 18, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Petition for review was granted, BIA's order was vacated, and the case was remanded. Because IJ relied on some valid factors in making adverse credibility finding, but also relied in part on a misstatement of the record and failed to consider some relevant evidence, the factors cited could not constitute substantial evidence supporting finding.

Zhong He Chen v. Bd. of Immigration Appeals, No. 04-3916-ag NAC, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT, January 18, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: BIA properly denied a motion to reopen removal proceedings. Whether deemed a motion to reopen or a motion for reconsideration, the motion failed; the alien offered only new legal argument, not new facts or documentation of a change in the law, and as a motion for reconsideration, the motion was untimely.
