Delgado v. Holder, 563 F.3d 863 (9th Cir. Apr. 17, 2009) (superseding earlier opinion, 546 F.3d 1017 (9th Cir. October 8, 2008) (three convictions for felony DUI, one of which involved an injury accident, and two of which resulted in prison terms of less than five years each, did not constitute particularly serious crimes for purposes of barring asylum: it was an abuse of discretion to hold otherwise, because "they do not exceed the 'capital or grave' standard of 'serious' nonpolitical crimes, and Frentescu indicates that particularly serious crimes should exceed that standard.").
jurisdiction:
Ninth Circuit
