Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Farhad Sethna, LAW OFFICES OF FARHARD SETHNA, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, for Petitioner.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: Shahrzad Baghai, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Judge(s): COLE, GRIFFIN, and READLER, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: On Petition for Review from the Board of Immigration Appeals

READLER, Circuit Judge. Jose Baltazar Us applied for cancellation of his removal from the United States to Guatemala, maintaining that his deportation would cause his U.S.-citizen children to suffer an “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship.” An Immigration Judge determined that Baltazar Us did not qualify for cancellation, however, and the Board of Immigration Appeals agreed. Because no reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to disagree, we deny the petition for review.
