MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ho Sang Yim v. Barr, 972 F.3d 1069 (9th Cir. 2020):
1 Because we conclude that all of the conduct criminalized by section 118(a) constitutes "an offense relating to ... perjury," we need not apply the modified categorical approach. See, e.g. , Shepard v. United States , 544 U.S. 13, 2526, 125 S.Ct. 1254, 161 L.Ed.2d 205 (2005).
