View this case - free  

Overview: Where an assistant district attorney allegedly used peremptory strikes against Black jurors, the Heck rule barred two inmates' claims under 42 U.S.C.S. §§ 1983, 1985, and 1986 because, inter alia, a holding declaring that the jury was purposefully improperly empaneled would call into question the validity of one inmate's conviction.

Overview: IJ's exercise of his discretion not to permit voluntary departure on the ground that the alien's application was not made in good faith and his testimony lacked credibility did not rise to the level of a constitutional violation, so the decision was not reviewable by the court under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1229c(f).

View this case - free  

Overview: In view of the complete bar to naturalization of aliens convicted of aggravated felonies at any time under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1101(f)(8), alien's firearms conviction rendered him unable to establish that he was prima facie eligible for naturalization as veteran of armed forces under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1440; thus, court was unable to grant him citizenship.
