Anin v. Reno
United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
188 F.3d 1273 (1999)
Relevant factsFree
Anin's (defendant) attorney's office received notice of his deportation hearing but never told him, resulting in an in absentia deportation order; his attorney's initial motion to reopen for lack of notice was denied because someone in the office had in fact received notice, and Anin, unaware of any of this, filed a second motion to reopen for ineffective assistance nearly two years after the original order.
IssueFree
Whether an alien is allowed to file a motion to reopen a deportation order after the 180-day filing deadline based on claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and lack of notice.
