Kwong v. Holder
September 17, 2009
**212(c)/Equal Protection**
Under Abebe v. Mukasey, 554 F.3d 1203, 1207 (9th Cir. 2009) (en banc) both the class of aliens with “substantially identical” removable offenses to an excludable offense listed in § 212(a) and the class of aliens whose removable offenses have no § 212(a) counterpart are ineligible for relief under § 212(c). Therefore, Kwong’s equal protection challenges are moot.
