Skip to § 5.

The aggravated felony definition includes two offenses relating to failure to appear in court:

 

            (a) failure to appear in court to face charges, see § 5.48, infra, and

 

            (b) failure to appear for sentence.  See § 5.49, infra.

 

As always, a conviction of the offense is required for it to be an aggravated felony: merely failing to appear, without being convicted of the criminal offense of failure to appear, does not constitute an aggravated felony.
