MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ottey v. Barr, 965 F.3d 84 (2nd Cir. 2020):
the proceedings on the ground that "intervening" decisions in Obeya v. Sessions , 884 F.3d 442 (2d Cir. 2018) (" Obeya "), and Mellouli v. Lynch , 575 U.S. 798, 135 S.Ct. 1980, 192 L.Ed.2d 60 (2015), require the conclusion that possession of stolen property was not a crime involving moral turpitude at the time of his conviction. We disagree.
