Chun v. Gonzales, No. 04-60904 Summary Calendar, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT, January 4, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Alien's motion to remand was unaccompanied by an adjustment of status application with the type of supporting evidence of his good faith marriage outlined in 8 C.F.R. § 204.2(a)(1)(iii)(B). Because evidence was insufficient to establish a prima facie case that his marriage was entered in good faith, BIA properly denied the alien's motion to remand.

Overview: Notice did not violate 8 C.F.R. § 239.1 and denial of request to terminate removal proceeding was proper, where notice was not signed directly by listed officer; INS's interpretation of regulation, providing for special agent to initially sign so long as he later obtained approval from authorized official, comported with regulation language.

View this case - free  

Overview: As defendant preserved his Booker claim, harmless error review applied; the government failed to prove the Booker error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because it could not point to anything in the record suggesting that the trial court would have imposed the same sentence absent mandatory U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.

View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's appeal challenging supervised release condition under 18 U.S.C.S. § 3583(d), requiring him to cooperate in collection of DNA sample, was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because imposition of DNA sample collection was not part of defendant's sentence; it was a prison condition that had to be challenged through a separate civil action.
