Ramon Sandoval-Vera v. Immigration and Naturalization Service
667 F.2d 792·1982 U.S. App. LEXIS 21994
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth CircuitFebruary 8, 198281-7229California102 words
Opinion
Ramon Sandoval-Vera, charged with unlawful entry into the United States, was ordered to show cause why he should not be deported. At a hearing on the order, two unauthenticated documents labeled “Information Page,” purporting to show his place of birth, were introduced over Sandoval-Vera’s objection. The Immigration Judge erred in overruling a timely objection to the introduction of the unauthenticated documents.
The burden is on the I.N.S. to prove:
Iran v. I.N.S., 656 F.2d 469, 471 (9th Cir. 1981). The evidence introduced here to prove alienage was inadmissible. The I.N.S. therefore failed to meet this part of its burden.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
