CA1 on Notice: Renaut v. Lynch

"We agree that the IJ dropped the ball and applied the wrong legal standard in reviewing Renaut's motion (albeit a different legal error from the one Renaut identified). The BIA likewise missed by affirming the IJ based on that incorrect legal principle. Therefore, we vacate the BIA's decision and remand Renaut's case to the BIA." - Renaut v. Lynch, June 3, 2015.  [Hats off to Wm. P. Joyce!]
