Description
COFFIN, Circuit Judge. Petitioner is a 52-year-old citizen of the Dominican Republic who entered the United States as a lawful permanent resident on January 1, 1974. He has conceded that he is deportable because of criminal convictions in the United States, but has sought relief from deportation under two provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. An immigration judge denied his application for relief, and the Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed that ruling in summary fashion, noting that petitioner had not specified the reasons for his appeal. Petitioner makes two claims to us: first, that the Board erred in failing to review fully the immigration judge's decision, and second, that he was denied due process because of the ineffective assistance of his former counsel, who was responsible for the sketchy nature of his appeal to the Board. Petitioner seeks an order directing the Board to give additional consideration to his request for relief from deportation.
