In re: RUBEN DARO SANCHEZ ESQUIVEL a.k.a. Ruben Dario Sanchez
IN REMOVAL PROCEEDIGS
APPEAL
ON BEHALF OF RSPONDENT: Jose A. Bracamonte, Esquire
ON BEHALF OF OHS:
CHARGE:
Matthew W. Kaufa
Senior Atorey
Notice: Sec. 237(a)(2)(A)(iii), I&N Act [8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii)] -
Convicted of aggavated felony
Lodged: Sec. 237(a)(2)(A)(ii), I&N Act [8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(2)(A)(ii)] -
Convicted of two or more crimes involving moral turpitude
APPLICATION: Terination
The Departent of Homeland Security ("OHS") appeals fom an Immigration Judge's
November 29, 2011, decision terminating the removal proceedings. The appeal will be
dismissed.
Te respondent, a natve and citizen of Panaa ad a lawfl permaent resident of the
United States, has sned two Arizona convictions fr aggavated driving under te infuence
of liquor or drgs ("DUI"). SeeA. RV. STAT. 28-1383(A)(l). The queston on appeal is
whether the OHS ha caried its burden to prove that these convictions render the respondent
removable fom the United States a an alien conviced of two crimes involving moral tpitude.
Section 237(a)(2)(A)(ii) of the Immigation ad Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(2)(A)(ii).
Like the Immigaton Judge, we aswer that question i the negative.
It is undisputed that the ofense defned by A. RV. STAT. 28-1383(A)(l ) is not a
categorical crime involving moral tupitde. Pea4et-Mattet v Ashco0, 329 F.3d 1117
(9th Cir. 2003). Fuherore, the DHS acknowledges on appeal that consideration of te
respondent's conviction record does not resolve the moral turpitde question. However, the
DHS agues that the Immigation Judge ered because he declined to consider the factual
circumstances surounding the respondent's ofenses pursuat to te ''third step" of the aalytical
faework described in Matteo(St|va-!evto,24 l&N Dec. 687 (A.G. 2008). That agument
is freclosed by O||vas-Mottav Po|4e, 716 F.3d 1199 (9th Cir. 2013), which invalidated the
third step of St/va-!evtoin Ninth Circuit cases and held that evidence outside the record of
conviction could not be used to deterine whether an alien had been "convicted of" a crime
involving moral turpitude.

A035 727 884
In light of the fregoing, we conclude that the DHS ha not carried its burden of proving that
the respondent is removable pursuant to section 237(a)(2)(A)(ii) of the Act. No oter removal
charges are currently pending against the respondent,
'
moreover, and therefre the proceedings
were properly terminated.
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed ad the removal proceedings ae terminated.
1 The DHS initially chaged the respondent with removabilit under section 237(a)(2)(A)(iii) of
the Act, but the Immigaton Judge dismissed that charge. Te DHS does not presently
challenge that aspect of the Imigation Judge's decision.

did in fact have two prior DUI convictions."
Thus, it was specifically agreed that the jury was not
to be advised of these two elements and that the State need not
have these elements proven by the jury inasmuch as the defendant
stipulated and agreed that these elements would be included in
the verdicts rendered by the jury.
Therefore, the actual charges and classification for
which the defendant stands convicted are aggravated driving
under the influence while license is suspended or revoked, (or
with two prior DUI convictions), a Class Four felony (count
one) ; and aggravated driving with an alcohol concentration of
.10 or more while license is suspended, or revoked (or with two
prior DUI convictions), a Class Four felony (count two).
The document is not signed but there is an indication
of Ruthann Wiggins, Deputy Clerk. Thus there is an Order by the
Court from there that the Court will conduct a hearing on April
28, et cetera, et cetera, indicating whether the defendant will
be subject to enhanced punishment.
Thus, based upon the evidence in the record, the Court
will make the following findings of fact. The respondent was
born in Panama and can claim citizenship from Panama. The
respondent is not a citizen or national of the United States and
cannot claim citizenship by birth, naturalization, derivation or
acquisition.
The respondent was admitted to the United States at

San Juan, Puerto Rico on or about April 20, 1979 as a lawful
permanent resident.
Respondent was convicted on January 11, 1999 in the
Arizona Superior Court, Maricopa County for the counts of Count
One: aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol while
license is suspended or revoked, in violation of ARS 28-
13 8 3 ( a) ( 1 ) , ( d) , { g) { 1 ) , ( h) , and ( i ) ; 2 8 -13 8 1 ( a) ( 1 ) ; 13 -6 O 4 .
Respondent was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of
six years in the Arizona Department of Corrections. The Court
makes the conclusion of law that the respondent has not been
convicted of an aggravated felony as this cannot constitute a
crime of violence under Section lOl{a) (43) {F) of the Act and
therefore, the Court will not sustain the charge in the original
Notice to Appear.
The Court finds that on May 30, 1999 in the Superior
Court of Arizona, Pima County, the respondent was convicted of
aggravated driving with an alcohol concentration of . 10 or more
while license was suspended with two prior convictions in
violation of Arizona Revised Statute Section 28-1383 (a) (1), {d),
{g) {l), {h) and (i), Section 28-1381 (a) (1) and Section 13-
604 {c), for which the term of impris
_
onment imposed was 10 years.
The Court finds that the crimes that were alleged both in the
original charging document and the additional charging document
did not arise from a single scheme of criminal misconduct.
The Court makes the conclusion of law that the offense

for which the respondent was convicted on January 11, 1999 does
constitute a crime involving moral turpitude. The Court makes
this conclusion based upon the fact that Exhibit 56 in the
record clearly indicates that the jury did not need to determine
whether the respondent was driving or was in actual physical
control as the parties stipulated to that fact and the defendant
was bound by that stipulation and therefore the issue of driving
was not an issue for the jury to determine. So while the jury
may have indicated as charged in the indictment, the conviction
clearly indicates that the respondent was driving and therefore
that crime involves a crime involving moral turpitude.
However, the evidence is not as clear for the
conviction on May 30, 1999 . This involves an offense which
occurred on March 5, 1998. And the Government would ask that
the Court consider the pre-sentence report in conjunction with
the case of Silva-Trevino, supra to determine that based upon
the statement of the offense on page 14 of Exhibit 48, su
exhibit A, that the respondent, based upon the pre-sentence
report can be found to have been driving the vehicle.
In this case, however, there is no clear indication of
what the jury determined. The statement of the offense is for
the basis of the Adult Probation Department and other State
agencies. There is no specific clarification in the record or
in the minute entry such as for the previous conviction that
clearly indicates that the defendant either stipulated that he

was driving or that the jury made a specific finding that the
respondent was driving the vehicle. Therefore, the Court finds
that this offense does not constitute a crime involving moral
turpitude .
Based upon the fact that the Court at this time can
only find that the respondent has been convicted of one crime
involving moral turpitude, the Court at this time must not
sustain the charge under Section 237(a) (2) (A) (ii) of the Act and
therefore the Court, at this point in time, will issue the
following order:
THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED that the respondent's motion
to terminate these proceedings be and is hereby GRTED.
