As the statute required district court to make findings, case was remanded to permit it to do so.

Fu Xiang Jiang v. Gonzales, No. 05-1102-ag NAC, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT, March 8, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Although an alien's testimony was sufficient to make out a claim that he fell into the category of a "refugee," he failed to provide further details when asked and he could not adequately explain inconsistencies in the documents he submitted to support his claims for relief; thus, his petition for review under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1252 was denied.

View this case - free

Overview: Dismissal of plaintiff and piggyback plaintiffs' ADEA claims as untimely under 29 U.S.C.S. § 626(d) was reversed and remanded because the plaintiff's EEOC intake questionnaire and accompanying affidavit constituted a timely EEOC "charge," the scope of which was sufficient to incorporate the piggyback plaintiffs' age discrimination claims.

Mansariya v. Holmes, No. 05-3236-ag NAC, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT, March 8, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Court lacked jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1252 to review a claim that changed country conditions warranted reopening of proceedings because such decision fell within the BIA's discretion. BIA and IJ reasonably found that inconsistencies within the alien's testimony and between his testimony and asylum application rendered him incredible.

Overview: If jury would not have convicted the inmate of burglary, then the handling of the jury's inquiry might have satisfied the second prong of the Davis test, i.e., it could amount to an error in state law that was sufficiently harmful as to make the conviction unfair as a matter of federal due process. The court remanded for consideration on the issue.
