Bobb v. Holder
No. 08-2644
Not Precedential

May 11, 2010
Judges Scirica, Chagares, and Weis. Opinion by Judge Weis.
Overturning IJ Henry Dogin and the BIA.
Use the categorical approach to analyze whether a conviction is a crime involving moral turpitude. Partyka v. Attorney Gen., 417 F.3d 408 (3d Cir. 2005); Jean-Louis v. Holder, 582 F.3d 462 (3d Cir. 2009). Official misconduct in violation of NJSA 2C:30-2 is not a crime involving moral turpitude under the categorical approach because it punishes virtually any action done without authorization by an official. That includes many actions that are not crimes involving moral turpitude.
