View this case - free  

Overview: Court lacked jurisdiction to review the BIA's determination that the filing period for the alien's asylum application was not tolled by extraordinary circumstances because he had simply taken his naked factual challenges and clothed them in the garb of due process, which was insufficient to shield him from the strictures of 8 U.S.C.S. § 1158(a)(3).

View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's conviction for being a felon in possession of firearms, a violation of 18 U.S.C.S. § 922(g)(1), was affirmed because his 1981 conviction for theft by receiving stolen property under § 3925 of Pennsylvania Crimes Code constituted a predicate conviction as his plea agreement established he was convicted of felony of third degree.

United States v. Iezzi, No. 06-1444, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT, April 11, 2007, Opinion Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: District court did not abuse its discretion when it sentenced defendant to consecutive sentence for violation of supervised release pursuant to 18 U.S.C.S. § 3584(a) because it clearly understood that it could impose concurrent sentence if it wished but determined that such an approach would be tantamount to imposing "no penalty at all."
