Lara v. Holder

Opinion

FOR PUBLICATION

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

JOSE LUIS MEDINA-LARA, No. 13-70491 Petitioner,

Agency No.

v. A079-361-360

ERIC H. HOLDER, JR., Attorney General, ORDER Respondent.

Filed August 25, 2014

Before: John T. Noonan, Michael Daly Hawkins, and Morgan Christen, Circuit Judges.

ORDER

For reasons to be set forth in a disposition which will follow in due course, we grant Medina-Lara’s petition for review because the government did not meet its burden to show that his California convictions constitute predicate offenses for purposes of removability under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2). We, therefore, order the United States to release Medina–Lara from custody immediately.

SO ORDERED.
