De La Cruz v. Maurer, 483 F.3d 1013 (10th Cir. April 3, 2007) (rejecting due process lack of rational basis claim as to cancellation stop-time rule: "the stop-time rule is rationally grounded. See Appiah v. INS, 202 F.3d 704, 709-10 (4th Cir. 2000) (applying rational basis review to substantive due process and equal protection challenges to stop-time rule). With the stop-time rule, "Congress intended to prevent aliens from continuing to accumulate time toward the continuous residency requirement after INS had issued an order to show cause to an alien." Sibanda v. INS, 282 F.3d 1330, 1335 (10th Cir. 2002). By mandating the stop-time rule, Congress also removed an alien's incentive for prolonging removal hearings in order to become eligible for cancellation of removal. Appiah, 202 F.3d at 710. These purposes are valid governmental objectives.").
