(A) Other Misdemeanor Drug Trafficking Convictions. It is possible to argue that convictions of offenses that meet either the common-sense definition of drug trafficking or the test of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) do not fall within the aggravated felony definition if they are misdemeanors.[289]

[289] Singh v. Ashcroft, 2003 WL 1873624 (E.D.N.Y. Apr. 11, 2003) (unpublished) (New York misdemeanor conviction of criminal sale of marijuana in the fourth degree, in violation of New York Penal Law § 221.40, does not constitute an illicit trafficking aggravated felony under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(B), because it is a misdemeanor).
