2nd Circuit
Gomez Santana v. Holder (2nd Circuit, April 22, 2013)
CHIN, Droney, Restani
Summary: The Second Circuit affirmed the agency’s determination that petitioner was ineligible for LPR Cancellation of Removal because his conviction under New York Penal Law ("NYPL") §§ 150.15 and 110.00 for Attempted Arson in the Second Degree was an “aggravated felony,” because it qualified as a “crime of violence” for which he received a sentence of 18 to 54 months of imprisonment.
