Coronado-Durazo v. INS, 123 F.3d 1322
(9th Cir. Sept. 30, 1997) (Arizona conviction for solicitation
to possess cocaine, under A.R.S. § 13-1002, was not conviction
for violation of law "relating to a controlled substance,"
within meaning of federal deportation statute, but rather
was conviction for generic crime that was distinct from underlying
crime and that, unlike conspiracy or attempt, was not included
in federal statute as possible basis for deportation under
former INA § 241(a)(2)(B)(i), 8 U.S.C. 1251(a)(2)(B)(i)
(1994); same argument can be made this conviction does not
constitute an aggravated felony); but cf. United States v.
Meza-Corrales, 183 F.3d 1116 (9th Cir. July 16, 1999) (conviction
under Arizonas general purpose solicitation statute qualifies
as a "felony drug offense" under 21 U.S.C. § 802(44)).

jurisdiction:
