CA10 on Ineffective Assistance of Counsel: Atud v. Garland

Atud v. Garland (unpub.)

"Mathurin A. Atud petitions for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings based on alleged ineffective assistance of counsel. We conclude the BIA did not adequately explain its denial of that motion. We therefore grant the petition, vacate the BIA’s denial, and remand for further proceedings."
