View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: Because IJ's errors went to heart of alien one's claims of past persecution, court could not say that considering events, there was no realistic possibility IJ would have reached different conclusion. Court therefore remanded alien one's case to the BIA. As alien two's asylum claim was derivative of alien one's, alien two's case was remanded also.

View this case - free  

Overview: District court did not abuse its discretion when it enhanced defendant's sentence for conspiracy to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C.S. §§ 841 and 846, because defendant refused to reveal source of steroids he claimed he took after he testified that his use of steroids prevented him from forming an intent to participate in a conspiracy.

View this case - free  

Overview: U.S. was properly granted summary judgment in an action to collect a taxpayer's unpaid federal income tax liabilities because the action was timely filed before the expiration of the 26 U.S.C.S. § 6502(a) limitations period for the earliest assessment and because the appellate court lacked jurisdiction to consider the final tax court decision.

View this case - free  

Overview: District court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress the firearms obtained via his uncoerced consent to search his residence because, under a totality of the circumstances, his consent was not based on deceit or trickery but rather on the police officers' well-founded advice that, absent consent, they could have obtained a warrant.
