Li v. Ashcroft,
389 F.3d 892 (9th Cir. Nov. 19, 2004) (federal conviction
of making a false statement to a United States official, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001, is divisible with respect to
the fraud offense aggravated felony defined in INA § 101(a)(43)(M)(i),
8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(M)(i), since it does not require proof
of any monetary loss and so does not automatically satisfy
the element of this aggravated felony definition requiring
a loss to the victim(s) in excess of $10,000, so the record
of conviction must be examined to determine whether the conviction
falls within the definition).
