FOR PUBLICATION
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
CRISANTO CARINO RAGASA,
Petitioner,
v.
ERIC H. HOLDER, JR., Attorney
General,
Respondent.
No. 12-72262
Agency No.
A037-485-221
ORDER
Filed February 24, 2014
Before: Michael Daly Hawkins, M. Margaret McKeown,
and Carlos T. Bea, Circuit Judges.
ORDER
For the reasons to be set forth in a disposition to follow,
we deny petitioner Ragasa’s claim for citizenship. However,
we grant the petition for review because his Hawai‘i state
conviction does not constitute a predicate offense for
purposes of removability under Section 237(a)(2)(B)(i) of the
INA. Therefore, we order the United States to release Ragasa
from custody forthwith.
