Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit December 22, 2004, No. 99-71134 (Sedha v. Immigration & Naturalization Service)

lead-opinion

MEMORANDUM *

Jagmohan Sedha and his children, Amit and Ritu, appeal the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) denial of their motion to reopen their deportation proceedings, which were conducted in abstentia.1 Sedha alleges that he and his children did not receive proper notice of the original deportation proceedings and therefore are eligible for rescission of the deportation order.
