Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals | 01May2009 | Kennedy, Gibbons, Rogers
(Circuit Judges)
Case: 09-3416 (John Demjanjuk v. Eric H. Holder, Attorney General)
http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/internet/documents/Order_001.pdf
The three Judges chastise the Board of Immigration Appeals as follows:
The government
characterizes the petitioner’s application as a “mad scramble”
undertaken hours before his scheduled removal. It suggested that the
petitioner took no action between the time the Immigration Judge lifted
a stay on April 8 and his April 14 application to this court. In fact,
the petitioner asked the BIA for a stay on April 7, and the BIA denied
the request on April 10. The petitioner also inquired of the government
as to whether it planned to remove the petitioner prior to the BIA’s
ruling and received an uncooperative and uninformative response on
April 13. Any “mad scramble” resulted from the government’s refusal to
give the petitioner’s counsel any timing information. The government’s
opposition to the stay motion, moreover, omitted any reason for
immediate removal. The overall course of conduct by the government in
effect meant that granting the stay initially was the only way this
court could give thoughtful consideration to the petitioner’s claims.
However, they deny Mr. Demjanjuk's motion for a stay of removal, but
grant his other motion as follows:
In Case No. 09-3469, the
petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is
GRANTED. His
motion for a stay of removal pending review is DENIED.
