Hernandez-Zavala v. Lynch

Petitioner, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitioned for review of the BIA's order affirming the IJ's pretermission of petitioner's application for cancellation of removal. The court found that petitioner's conviction for assault with a deadly weapon, committed against someone with whom he had a domestic relationship, renders him ineligible for cancellation of removal under 8 U.S.C. 1229b(b). Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment and denied the petition for review. View "Hernandez-Zavala v. Lynch" on Justia Law
