Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit April 26, 1995, 93-70838 (Idelfonso Manzo-Fontes v. Immigration & Naturalization Service)

WIGGINS, Circuit Judge:

OVERVIEW

Idelfonso Manzo-Fontes was found deport-able by an Immigration Judge (“IJ”). He sought relief from deportation under section 249 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“the Act”), 8 U.S.C. § 1259. The IJ concluded that Manzo-Fontes was statutorily ineligible for relief because he had not “resided in the United States continuously” since his entry in 1968.
