View this case - free  

Overview: A district court did not commit plain error when it imposed 12-month sentence after revoking defendant's supervised release. The district court's consideration of the need to promote respect for the law factor set out in 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a)(2)(A) was not error per se, even though 18 U.S.C.S. § 3583(e) did not require consideration of that factor.

Overview: BIA properly denied an alien's application for relief under the CAT because the alien failed to establish that she was more likely than not to be tortured if returned to China. Her contention that she would be imprisoned if she failed to pay her father's debt was purely speculative and was not corroborated by any affidavits or documents.
