Ninth Circuit -- MIKHAIL PECHENKOV V. ERIC H. HOLDER JR.

Federal courts cannot review immigration holding allowing removal based on commission of a particularly dangerous crime unless a matter of law is raised, a constitutional claim is raised, or the IJ makes findings extraneous to the record of the conviction.

Relevant statute not unconstitutional.

Concurrence (by the author): The extraneous findings category ("on the merits") is erroneous.
