Leyva-Licea v. INS,
187 F.3d 1147 (9th Cir. Aug. 19, 1999) (Arizona conviction
for solicitation to possess marijuana for sale, in violation
of Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 13-1002(A) & 13-3405(A)(2)(B)(5),
did not constitute an aggravated felony under INA § 101(a)(43)(B),
8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(B), or trigger deportation, since the
Controlled Substances Act neither mentions solicitation nor
contains any broad catch-all provision that could even arguably
be read to cover solicitation).

jurisdiction: 
Ninth Circuit
