Gitzo panoramic discs have been developed accordingly to the requests and inputs by professional photographers. They combine a number of innovative characteristics that make them a must have accessory. Panoramic discs are made of cast magnesium that allows for a design optimization that maximizes ergonomics and minimizes weight. The disc features an extremely low profile and a wide rotating base, extremely smooth and stable. Thanks to this smoothness it can also be an ideal panning base for additional shooting precision when combined to other heads, especially with the Gitzo Systematic head GH5380S in wild life and sport photography.

The Distance Education and Training Council will again be offering it's Meeting Mentoring Program, designed to help make first-time attendees feel more at ease, introduce them to colleagues in the DETC family and make sure they get the most from their first DETC meeting. The program will match experienced DETC meeting goers with first-time meeting attendees.
The program gives first-time meeting attendees the opportunity to meet and learn from an experienced DETC member, and have a friendly contact to talk to and ask questions of throughout the conference. The mentor gains the opportunity of meeting new colleagues and sharing their expertise. These relationships can develop into collegial friendships and continue long after the conference is over.
DETC Meeting Mentees should be any first-time meeting attendee, from member or non-member institutions. Mentees should be ready to learn from their mentor and not be afraid to ask questions.
DETC Meeting Mentors should be from institutions currently accredited by DETC and have at least one year of meeting experience. Mentors also should be willing to volunteer a few hours of time sharing, advising and assisting new meeting attendees.
Participants of the program will receive name, phone numbers, e-mail and addresses of the individual with whom they are matched. If possible, matched participants should contact each other before the workshop begins. During the meeting, participants should plan to meet a minimum of two times. First time meetings should take place at Sunday evening's Welcome Reception, if possible.
Mentors: Mentors (those providing mentoring) should have a sincere interest in helping new attendees get the most out of DETC meetings. Qualifications involve having good listening skills, having attended at least one year of DETC meetings and the ability to act as a professional role model. Mentors must be from institutions currently accredited by DETC.
Take a few minutes to "talk" to your Mentee (either by telephone or e-mail) before the meeting. Find out if they have any questions. Make arrangements to meet with them at the beginning of the meeting—the Welcome Reception is a great place to start. Things to discuss with your Mentee include their interests (professional or personal), how the meeting works, etc.
Introduce your Mentee to other colleagues and DETC staff. Check in with your Mentee during the meeting, especially at group social events, just to make sure they aren't lonely. It is not necessary to commit to spending all of your time with your Mentee; it is just important to touch base occasionally.
Mentees: Mentees should be interested in making the most from their first DETC meeting experience, being introduced to other colleagues, and learning from their Mentor. When talking to your Mentor, be sure to ask them any questions you have. No question is too silly.
Make arrangements to meet with your mentor at the beginning of the meeting—Sunday's Welcome Reception is perfect for this. Things to discuss with your Mentor include your interests (professional or personal), how the meeting works, how your Mentor became involved with DETC, etc. Don't be shy about asking to be introduced to other colleauges or DETC staff members.
If you feel the need, arrange to touch base occasionally throughout the conference. It is not necessary to commit to spending all of your time with your Mentor.
Please contact Robert Chalifoux, DETC's Director of Media and Events, via phone (202-234-5100, ext. 104) or e-mail (email@example.com) with any questions.

When the city of Rapture was first unveiled, it was an underwater dystopia ravaged by civil war and self-destructive genetic manipulation. This strange and unforgettable world was also one of awe and wonder. Set nearly a decade after the events of its precursor, BioShock 2's Rapture is just as haunting and atmospheric the second time around (and perhaps even more so), but the sunken tomb of Rapture has lost much of the mystery that made it so memorable. Everything seems a bit too familiar, and the story that accompanies your journey is not as impressive or shocking as the original. Despite this, BioShock 2 plays host to several enhancements over the first, including an expanded set of moral dilemmas, improved shooter mechanics, and a surprisingly fun and engaging multiplayer mode. Whether or not you've experienced Rapture before, BioShock 2 is an all at once beautiful, disturbing, and thought-provoking experience that stays with you after you've shut it off.
6249793Duel-wielding weapons and plasmids opens up lots of interesting new combinations.none
"Fallen, fallen is Babylon." Scrawled across the wall above a board covered with photographs, these words greet you in the waterlogged, decaying opulence of Adonis Spa after you awaken. Ten years have passed since the surprising events of BioShock 2's opening cinematic, and you're a man with a mission: to find your Little Sister. As Subject Delta, one of the original Big Daddy protectors first introduced in BioShock, you were pair-bonded with a Little Sister named Eleanor Lamb through a love that could literally kill you. Your mutual desire is to be reunited, but Eleanor is now being held captive by her mother, Sofia Lamb, the new master of Rapture. As an altruist and collectivist, Lamb is the diametric opposite of Andrew Ryan, the wealthy industrialist who founded Rapture as a place where mankind could be unfettered by petty morals, the hand of government, or the word of God. As an antagonist, she lacks Ryan's charisma and larger-than-life presence, but her personal philosophy and particular brand of madness nonetheless provides an interesting, if heavy-handed, alternative to his.
Though it is essentially a first-person shooter, the key component of BioShock 2 is its story, and while it features a powerful and compelling narrative with a satisfying conclusion, it is not without its issues. Whereas much of the first game focused on the city of Rapture and the mystery of how it fell from grace, BioShock 2 barely touches on these aspects, and as a result, prior knowledge is required to fully understand what is happening. There is supplemental reading on the big details buried within the menus for those who need it, but unfortunately, this isn't effectively brought to your attention. Furthermore, there are a number of inconsistencies present that are never satisfactorily explained. These range from small, nagging issues with the way certain story-based gameplay elements or characters from BioShock were grandfathered in, to larger problems with your very existence as a Big Daddy. It never becomes clear why you alone among the Big Daddies can use plasmids, for example. And while your pair-bond with Eleanor lightly manifests throughout the game, there is never any emotional connection there to latch hold of--the only reason you have to pursue her is that you're explicitly told you need to find her.
Standing between you and your Little Sister is The Family, Lamb's semireligious cult of splicers, or former citizens of Rapture whose years of abusing a genetically enhancing drug called ADAM has granted them superhuman powers at the cost of their sanity. The years have not been kind to the splicers, who are far more warped and disfigured than ever before. They're also more dangerous now, having spent the last ten years honing and refining their predatory skills and abilities. Most of the splicers you encounter, such as creepy wall-climbing spiders and teleporting houdinis, are recognizable from the first game, but they're now joined by brutes, who can ruin your day with a charging tackle or a thrown piece of concrete. To keep up with these dangerous freaks, you have no choice but to splice up yourself to increase your potential and unlock new abilities. This means you need ADAM of your own, which is where things get interesting.
You may be a Big Daddy too, but this is not your sis.
As a Big Daddy, you're only too familiar with the way that ADAM is obtained: the Little Sisters. Making regular rounds in Rapture, the adorable but intensely creepy Little Sisters seek out ADAM-rich corpses (which they lovingly refer to as "angels") to drain with their wicked-looking needles. Each Little Sister is guarded by a Big Daddy, and unfortunately, there's no secret handshake that will get a Big Daddy to part willingly with his tiny charge--you've got to put him down. Once the two have been separated, it's up to you to decide what to do with the little girl, who cries in mourning of her surrogate father. As a Big Daddy yourself, you can lift her lovingly onto one shoulder and become her new guardian, or you can ruthlessly slaughter her for ADAM on the spot--an act made all the more cruel and unforgivable by your circumstances. By choosing the former, you can help your adopted Little Sister continue her rounds, earning a nice ADAM bonus in the process, but you're really only delaying the big decision. Do you choose to be selfish and harvest her? Or will you choose to be selfless and rescue her from her ghoulish condition? Each choice offers a different degree of ADAM as reward, but no matter what you decide, sooner or later Big Sister is going to catch up with you. These grown-up Little Sisters have been retrofitted with armor inspired by their guardians, and they are fast, powerful, and angry at you for messing with their pseudo siblings.
With enough ADAM at your disposal, you can spend it splicing up your DNA with plasmids to gain access to psychokinetic powers, such as the ability to throw fireballs, generate decoys that draw enemy fire, or shoot bees from your hands. You can also purchase gene tonics to enhance yourself with a wide variety of passive traits like faster movement speed, immunity to electrical damage, or quieter footsteps. Your combat options aren't strictly limited to genetic mutations, however, because there is an extensive arsenal of more traditional projectile weaponry for you to find as well. Each gun you find can dish out some serious damage to marauding splicers, from the bolt-launching rivet gun and the shoulder-mounted launcher to the .50 caliber machine gun and the deadly spear gun. Each gun also has multiple types of ammunition that you can switch between depending on the situation. As you journey deeper into Rapture, you'll have opportunities to upgrade both your guns and your plasmids, and there's a much greater sense of improvement this time around. Plasmids gain secondary and tertiary abilities, and weapons receive bonuses, such as the power to zap and stun foes with electricity.

For as long as he can remember, John D. Birchby, Esq. '73L wanted to go to St. John's University. The son of alumnus Kenneth L. Birchby, Esq. '49L,'88HON, John recognized early in life the significance of strong family ties. He acknowledges that his father served as a powerful role model, ultimately influencing him to continue the Birchby legacy of entering the legal profession after graduating from St. John's School of Law.
"My dad was an unusual man - a fantastic father, a fantastic businessman, and he was my best friend and my guiding light. I remember when I was a little kid I asked my father what he did and where he went to school, and I remember my father saying he went to St. John's. It was the first time I had ever heard of St. John's, and once I found out what my father did and where he went to school, in the back of my head that's what I wanted to do. I remember as a kid following St. John's in basketball, and it was because my dad went to St. John's. And I was very lucky to be able to go there myself. It's been a life-changing experience for me."
John has enjoyed a long and successful career as a private practice attorney, and is proud that he "…developed a practice that was all my own, built with my own blood, sweat and tears."
His professional specialization is focused in the areas of real estate, bankruptcy and estate work. He enjoys the personal interactions that are such an important aspect of a small legal practice, as compared with the sense of anonymity that frequently characterizes a larger firm. "I always say it's like being the old country doctor, where you're giving personal help to individual clients. They're coming to you because of who you are and what you can provide for them, and that's a huge difference from being a corporate attorney. There's a lot of satisfaction in that."
Being a partner in a small firm also offers an opportunity to reach out to others in personal and practical ways.
"Over the years, John has hired a lot of family members, including our four boys and a niece, to work there for the summers during college," noted his wife, Mary Beth. "A daughter of one of our good friends just finished law school, and she tells everyone that she went because she wanted to be like Mr. Birchby. That's the kind of role model that John has always been."
Despite his many accomplishments, what matters most happens at the end of his busy day, when he unwinds and shares in the love of the people who have always meant the most to him.
"The most important thing to me is really Mary Beth and our four boys," he said. "I've been at my law firm in Paramus, New Jersey since 1975, and it's been a joy. I've really enjoyed working there all these years. But the love of my life is Mary Beth and my kids. Our firm is located six miles away from home, which enabled me to come home for school plays, coach soccer for the boys, help out with basketball and get involved in the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. So, it was a number of years of just pure fun and enjoyment for the boys and me, with Mary Beth by my side."
Although not a St. John's alumna, Mary Beth shares her husband's affinity for the University that has always been important to him, and now means so much to them both. She is quick to acknowledge the special sense of warmth and acceptance that has always made her feel a part of the St. John's community.
"St. John's really makes you feel like family," she said. "I didn't go to St. John's, but I've always felt very welcome there, and they have adopted me as part of their family. St. John's gives its students a great education and a strong sense of caring about others, which means that they go out into the world with not only an academic foundation but an ethical foundation as well."
She credits St. John's University President Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M. with setting the tone that makes everyone with a connection to the University feel like they belong. "St. John's has always gone out of its way to make me feel very comfortable," she said. "A lot of it is Fr. Harrington, who is just a special person. He takes a personal interest in you, as does everyone on his staff. They remember you, and they always care."
The Birchbys continue to be impressed with the changes that have taken place at the University since John was a student in the early 1970s. They are pleased that while St. John's has evolved into one of the world's most respected institutions, its commitment to providing an exceptional education for young people who might otherwise not have had an opportunity to earn a college degree has remained unchanged.
"When I was there, St. John's was basically an inner-city school," recalled John. "Today, it's offering a higher education for people in the metropolitan area and around the world, and there are so many scholarship opportunities for students who need them. Look at the famous and successful alumni of St. John's. Would they have been as successful or had the same opportunities without St. John's? I think not. St. John's stands out as offering a great opportunity to every individual. My dad is a fine example of that. He went to St. John's Law School at night, and everything that he did in his life was because of the education he got at St. John's."
Wanting to express their appreciation for what St. John's did for both of them, John and his father decided that it was important to give back to the University in a meaningful and practical way. In 2003 they established the Kenneth L. Birchby and John D. Birchby Scholarship Fund to help defray the educational expenses of several deserving students in St. John's School of Law each year. The scholarship fund currently has assets of more than $1 million.
John and Mary Beth were also instrumental in providing funding for a major facilities upgrade of a lecture hall in the School of Law, a decision that was made after John was on campus for a Continuing Legal Education course.
"When I was walking through the Law School building a few years ago, I noticed that one of the lecture halls on the left had been renovated, and it looked very nice. But I saw that the other on the right looked the same as it had 35 years ago. I told Mary Beth, 'I know we give each year to the scholarship fund, but this building has a beautiful lecture hall to the left, and the one on the right really needs additional work.' I spoke to [the late Law School Dean [Mary] Daly about it and she mentioned that they could definitely use a contribution to renovate it. So Mary Beth and I discussed it and called Dean Daly and said we'd like to help renovate the lecture hall, and now it looks a lot better."
Dedicated in 2009, the Birchby Lecture Hall incorporates state-of-the art technology, such as a professor's smart podium to operate lighting, audio, video and internet connectivity as well as functional and comfortable furnishings for the students.
In recognition of his outstanding legal career and exceptional generosity, the School of Law presented John with the Belson Medal in 2005. Three years later, the University presented John with the President's Medal and inducted him and Mary Beth into The Founders Society, an exclusive donor recognition group reserved for St. John's most generous supporters.
The Birchby legacy at St. John's continues in the person of John and Mary Beth's son Timothy, who is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Elementary Education at The School of Education. A former Paralegal and Writer's Assistant in Los Angeles, he acknowledges that his decision to change careers was "…a natural progression for me at this time in my life. I've always loved working with children, and especially having a child of my own now, it's all the more relevant for me."
Once Timothy decided to change careers, he didn't need to think twice about where to go for his new degree. He remembered hearing his grandfather and father tell stories about their experiences at St. John's, and was happy to carry the Birchby tradition into the next generation.
"St. John's has quickly become my own second family," he said. "I feel very lucky for the opportunity to be there. I'm going at night, and everyone's there because they want to be there. We're all working towards the same goal, and that really increases the sense of community at St. John's. We're all trying to help each other achieve the same thing."
A humble and unassuming couple who radiate kindness and warmth, the Birchbys have embraced the Vincentian ideals by happily offering assistance to others without any expectation of acclaim or recompense. Their reward lies in seeing the impact that they've made on the people they've helped, and hoping that they've served as an inspiration for others to do the same.
According to Mary Beth, "When students whom we've helped tell us that they want to do something for us in return, we tell them, 'When you see someone else who needs something, help them. Pass it on.' For me, I hope we're remembered just to encourage others to give if they're in a position to do so. I hope we inspire others to do the same."
"We all have a responsibility to give back and help those who need help," agreed John. "You know, it's very nice that the University put our name on the lecture hall. It wasn't necessary though, and it's not necessary that our name be on the scholarship. What's important is that the lecture hall got redone, and those scholarships exist. Mary Beth and I have been very blessed that we've been able to help, and we would be remiss if we did not help others who needed it. The special values that have always served as the foundation of St. John's are very true ideals that have stood the test of time. They're not outdated, and I'm sure they never will be."

Both Business Week and CNN/Money Magazine have ranked Mount Prospect as one of the best places to live and raise kids, and it appears that the residents in Mount Prospect apartments for rent agree. With the village's high quality of life, easy access to Chicago and its commuter rail systems, beautiful tree-lined streets and charming neighborhoods, people keep coming back to Mount Prospect apartments year after year. Add in the fact that the area also has excellent living options, highly acclaimed schools and a growing business sector, and you have to be wondering why you didn't move here ages ago!
There are several park districts available to residents in Mount Prospect apartments for rent, including the Mount Prospect Park District, which boasts 26 parks and recreational facilities. The village also offers several youth programs and special events to the community, which shows how dedicated this place is to its families. There are also several special events for people in apartments in Mount Prospect, including Irish Fest, Fridays on the Green, the Fourth of July fireworks, the Midsummer Downtown Party, Fall Festival/Oktoberfest, the Christmas Tree Lighting and the village's Celestial Celebration. Clearly being a part of the community here means you have to get out and have a little fun with the whole family!
Like many of the other suburbs surrounding Chicago, living here can be pricey compared to other towns, but not by much. According to City-Data, the overall cost of living index for prospective residents looking at Mount Prospect apartments for rent was around 7 percent more expensive than the typical American city, but when you factor in everything apartments for rent in Mount Prospect have to offer, it's not too bad of a deal. Mount Prospect is also becoming more prosperous. From 2000 to 2009, the median household income jumped by more than $7,000, showing that this village is on the up-and-up.
According to the village's 2010 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the top employers for residents in Mount Prospect include Caremark Rx, Bosch Tools, MetLife and Cummins-Allison Corp. Although there is certainly a diverse array of industry in Mount Prospect, the village is also an easy commute to all of the employment opportunities in nearby Chicago. There are also several nearby colleges and universities available for students living in Mount Prospect, including the University of Illinois at Chicago, the College of DuPage, Northwestern University and the College of Lake County.

Make a fashionable first impression at orientation outfitted in collegiate classics and smart accessories.
Make sure to have a roomy carry-all that can fit a pile of papers and an extra cardigan to combat air-conditioned auditoriums, and wear shoes that are as comfy as they are cute. Bring a notebook to take notes—because you'll want to know where to find everything from the best library to a good latte—and grab a file folder to keep important documents in order. While you're at it, stash a statement necklace or a bold pair of earrings in your bag for impromptu dinners with new friends. And don't forget a watch, because there's no such thing as fashionably late when you have meetings to make and classes to attend. With such a smart appearance, you are destined to impress not only your peers, but your future professors as well.

Cases & Decisions
Circuit Courts
Third Circuit
CA3 Finds Record Suggests a Pattern of Persecution of Eritrean Pentecostals
The court found that the record suggested a pattern or practice of persecution of Pentecostals in Eritrea and remanded the case for further consideration. The court also held that the IJ committed legal error in finding that Petitioner could not prevail on his CAT claim because his claim for asylum was denied. (
Ghebrehiwot v. Atty. Gen.
, 11/3/06). AILA Doc. No. 06121562.
AILA Doc. No. 06121562.
CA3 Criticizes IJ Ferlise for Jumping Eagerly on Each Slip of the Tongue
The court held that the IJ's adverse credibility determination and determination that, if credible, Petitioner's testimony did not establish past persecution, were not supported by substantial evidence. The court also instructed the BIA on remand to consider whether conditions have changed in Georgia. (
Gabuniya v. Gonzales
, 9/19/06). AILA Doc. No. 06111013.
AILA Doc. No. 06111013.
CA3 Finds "Fundamental Defect" in Reinstatement Proceedings
The court held that the INS's failure to inform Appellant of his right to appeal his reinstatement order, combined with misleading language contained in the reinstatement notice of intent form was a fundamental defect which, if prejudicial, rendered the proceeding fundamentally unfair. (
U.S. v. Charleswell
, 08/01/06). AILA Doc. No. 06100666.
AILA Doc. No. 06100666.
CA3 Finds "Criminal Deportees" to Haiti Not a Particular Social Group
The court held that the BIA properly relied on
Matter of J-E-
in denying CAT protection because Petitioner did not demonstrate the specific intent element for torture. The court also decided to follow the precedents of other circuit courts which have found that criminal deportees are not a social group. (
Toussaint v. Atty. Gen. of U.S.
, 7/26/06). AILA Doc. NO. 06090877.
AILA Doc. No. 06090877.
CA3 Discusses "Particularly Serious Crime" Bar to Withholding of Removal
The court held that an offense must be an aggravated felony in order to be classified as a "particularly serious crime." In evaluating Petitioner's fraud conviction, the IJ erred in considering the loss attached to all of the charges, rather than the single count for which Petitioner was convicted. (
Alaka v. Att'y Gen. of the U.S.
, 07/18/06). AILA Doc. No. 06090561.
AILA Doc. No. 06090561.
CA3 Finds Jurisdiction to Stay Voluntary Departure Period
The court found jurisdiction to grant a stay of the voluntary departure period because there is no indication that Congress intended to eliminate such jurisdiction. The court held that a final order was affected when the BIA affirmed the IJ's decision, not when the voluntary departure period expires. (
Obale v. Att'y Gen. of the U.S.
, 06/22/06). AILA Doc. No. 06082365.
AILA Doc. No. 06082365.
CA3 Remands for Review by Three-Member BIA Panel
The court found that the decision of a single BIA member to forego panel review is not "committed to agency discretion" and is therefore, subject to judicial review. The court remanded the case to the BIA, holding that the Board member's refusal to refer the case for review by a three-member panel was in error. (
Purveegiin v. Gonzales
, 06/01/06). AILA Doc. No. 06082364.
AILA Doc. No. 06082364.
CA3 Finds Refugee Who Adjusts to LPR Status Is Subject to Removal
The court concluded that the INA allows for a person who entered the country as a refugee and later adjusted his status to a LPR to be placed in removal proceedings even though his refugee status was never terminated. In reaching this conclusion, the court gave deference to the BIA decision in Smriko. (
Romanishyn v. Atty. Gen. of U.S.
, 7/20/06). AILA Doc. No. 06082267.
AILA Doc. No. 06082267.
CA3 Finds Gay Argentine Suffered Past Persecution by Police
The court concluded that the treatment Petitioner suffered at the hands of the Argentine police, which occurred at least 20 times over a period of several years, rose to the level of persecution, even though the harm he suffered did not cause severe injuries, nor was he ever detained more than 12 hours. (
Maldonado v. Atty. Gen. of U.S.
, 7/18/06). AILA Doc. No. 06081571.
AILA Doc. No. 06081571.
CA3 Remands for Determination of Whether Vacated Conviction Stands for Immigration Purposes
The court held that the BIA erred in ignoring the sole argument in Petitioner's motion to reopen that he was no longer removable by virtue of his vacated conviction. The court remanded the case to the Board to determine whether the conviction still stood for immigration purposes. (
Cruz v. Gonzales
, 06/21/06). AILA Doc. No. 06080960.
AILA Doc. No. 06080960.
CA3 Holds a Person Already Removed from the U.S. is Not "In Custody" for Habeas Jurisdiction
The court held that the district court lacked jurisdiction over a habeas corpus petition filed after the petitioner had been removed from the U.S. The court held that the individual was not "in custody" of DHS and therefore, did not satisfy the custodial requirement for habeas jurisdiction. (
Kumarasamy v. Att'y Gen. of the U.S.
, 06/23/06). AILA Doc. No. 06073163.
AILA Doc. No. 06073163.
CA3 Finds Jurisdiction to Review IJ's Denial of Motion to Continue
The court held that INA §242(a)(2)(B)(ii) does not bar jurisdiction to review the IJ's denial of a motion to continue because the authority to grant continuances is not "specified under [the relevant] subchapter" to be in the discretion of the Attorney General. (
Khan v. Att'y Gen. of the U.S.
, 05/22/06). AILA Doc. No. 06072869.
AILA Doc. No. 06072869.
CA3 Finds Harsh Prison Conditions in Haiti Are Not Torture
The court held that under the REAL ID Act it must vacate the district court's decision and address the habeas petition as if it were raised in the first instance as a petition for review. The court found that the generalized allegations of prison conditions for criminal deportees raised by Petitioner do not rise to the level of torture. (
Francois v. Gonzales
, 5/19/06) AILA Doc. No 06070772
AILA Doc. No. 06070772.
CA3 Finds BIA Erred in Not Reopening Due to Changed Conditions
The court found that the BIA committed an error of law when it held that Petitioners' motion to reopen based on changed conditions was time barred under 8 CFR § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii). The court also rejected as inadequate the BIA's explanation for rejecting Petitioners' ineffective assistance of counsel claim and CAT claim. (
Filja v. Gonzales
, 5/12/06). AILA Doc. No. 06070771.
AILA Doc. No. 06070771.
CA3 Finds No Jurisdiction to Review I-140 Revocation
The court found that INA §242(a)(2)(B)(ii) bars review of a decision under INA §205 to revoke approval of an I-140 visa petition because the words "may," "at any time" and "deems" in INA §205 vest the AG with discretion. (
Jilin Pharmaceutical USA v. Chertoff
, 5/10/06). AILA Doc. No. 06070767.
AILA Doc. No. 06070767.
CA3 Finds BIA Mischaracterized Evidence and Remands Asylum Claim
The court found that the BIA mischaracterized the nature and degree of the threats faced by Petitioner and understated the effect of the threats. The court held that the BIA's factual findings were not supported by substantial evidence and that Petitioner established a well-founded fear in Guatemala. (
Chavarria v. Gonzales
, 5/3/06). AILA Doc. No. 06060961.
AILA Doc. No. 06060961.
CA3 Overturns IJ Ferlise's Credibility Finding in Scathing Opinion
The court found that substantial evidence did not support the IJ's conclusion that Petitioner's father was alive. The court noted that the IJ relied on death certificates that he had excluded from evidence to support this conclusion and also failed to address or mention newspaper articles regarding the death. (
Shah v. Gonzales
, 4/28/06). AILA Doc. No. 06053166.
AILA Doc. No. 06053166.
CA3 Finds Petitioner Was "Ground to Bits" by IJ Ferlise
The court found that it was clear that the IJ presumed Petitioner's application to be without merit before a shred of testimony had been presented. The court stated that the belligerence of the questioning and the tension in the courtroom leapt off the pages of the record. The case was remanded to a different IJ. (
Cham v. Gonzales
, 4/28/06). AILA Doc. No. 06053164.
AILA Doc. No. 06053164.
CA3 Affirms Removability Based on Terrorist Activity for Former INLA Member
The court concluded that the criminal bar to review did not apply and affirmed the BIA's conclusions that Petitioner: (1) was removable for having engaged in terrorist activity under INA §237(a)(4)(B); (2) was ineligible for asylum and withholding; and (3) failed to establish eligibility for deferral of removal. (
McAllister v. Gonzales
, 4/10/06). AILA Doc. No. 06052273.
AILA Doc. No. 06052273.
CA3 Rejects IJ's Numerous Adverse Findings as Speculative, Insufficiently Developed or Defying Logic in Asylum Claim from Cote d'Ivoire
The court held that substantial evidence did not support the IJ's finding that the harm to Petitioner was not sufficiently severe to constitute persecution, and the IJ failed to apply the BIA's three-part inquiry for requiring corroboration. The court also rejected the IJ's adverse credibility finding. (
Toure v. Gonzales
, 4/5/06). AILA Doc. No. 06050962.
AILA Doc. No. 06050962.
CA3 Says Repeal of Suspension of Deportation Not Impermissibly Retroactive to Persons Who Both Pleaded Guilty and Were Eligible for Relief Prior to Repeal
Relying on former INA §244(a)(2), which requires ten years continuous physical presence and good moral character following a deportable act, the court reasoned that Petitioner no reasonable expectation of applying for suspension immediately after he entered his guilty plea. (
Hernandez v. Gonzales
, 2/14/06). AILA Doc. No. 06040470.
AILA Doc. No. 06040470.
CA3 Weakens Collateral Estoppel Doctrine
After INS failed to prove alienage in 1993, an IJ and habeas court held INS was collaterally estopped from relitigating it in 2001. Although the court found the doctrine generally applies in immigration cases, it does not apply "where a clearly deportable alien continues to commit criminal acts after initial proceedings are terminated." (
Duvall v. AG
, 2/7/06). AILA Doc. No. 06031562.
AILA Doc. No. 06031562.
CA3 Notes that BIA Decision Ordering Remand Is Not Final; Affirms Finding that Pennsylvania Simple Assault Conviction is a COV
In a footnote, the court said that the BIA's first order affirming removability but remanding to allow Petitioner to pursue relief from removal was not final for purposes of judicial review until remand proceedings were completed and the BIA ruled on the second appeal. (
Singh v. Gonzales
, 1/3/06). AILA Doc. No. 06021712.
AILA Doc. No. 06021712.
CA3 Upholds Asylum Denial Based on Lack of Corroboration
The court found that the IJ clearly identified facts for which it was reasonable to expect corroboration. The court noted that under the REAL ID Act it could not reverse the IJ's determination unless it was compelled to conclude that such corroborating evidence was unavailable. (
Chen v. Gonzales
, 12/29/05). AILA Doc. No. 06013012.
AILA Doc. No. 06013012.
CA3 Decides When a Vacated Conviction Remains a Conviction
After first affirming district court APA jurisdiction over an adjustment denial, the court concluded that the BIA may reasonably draw a distinction between convictions vacated based on "substantive" or "rehabilitative" grounds, and established a categorical test to guide this determination. (
Pinho v. Gonzales
, 12/20/05). AILA Doc. No. 06011864.
AILA Doc. No. 06011864.
