                      MONEY LAUNDERING - DRUG TRAFFICKING

                      Lara-Chacon v. Ashcroft, 345 
                    F.3d 1148 (9th Cir. Oct. 10, 2003) (BIA improperly relied 
                    upon presentence report in finding Arizona conviction for 
                    conspiracy to commit money laundering in violation of Ariz. 
                    Rev. Stat. §§ 13-1003, 12-2317(A)(1), (C) was a drug trafficking 
                    crime where presentence report indicated respondent was a 
                    drug dealer and the offense involved 15 pounds of marijuana).
                    



                    
                    
                    
 
                      MONEY LAUNDERING

                      Chowdhury v. INS, 249 F.3d 970, 972-974 (9th Cir. 
                    May 14, 2001) (federal conviction for money laundering $1,310 
                    in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(1)(A) did not constitute 
                    an "aggravated felony," even though defendant was 
                    ordered to pay $967,753.39 in restitution, because, under 
                    INA § 101(a)(43)(D), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(D), the amount 
                    of funds laundered must exceed $10,000).
