Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Asking the parties whether they accept a decision as “final” is a shorthand expression commonly used by Immigration Judges. It refers to the language of [ 8 C.F.R. § 1003.39 ], which provides for finality of the Immigration Judge’s decision upon waiver of the right to appeal (or upon the expiration of the time in which to appeal, if no appeal is taken). Those who understand the meaning of this shorthand expression, such as aliens represented by attorneys or accredited representatives, may effectively waive appeal in response to this simple question.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Ali v. Mukasey“Based on your admissions to me and based on the documents submitted by the Immigration Service, I find that you’re removable from the United States as charged. I’m not aware of any relief available to you and you’re not requesting any relief and, therefore, I order that you be removed from the United States to the Dominican Republic on the charges contained in the Notice to Appear. Do you accept my decision as a final one?”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Ali v. Mukasey“Achieving immediate finality of an Immigration Judge’s decision is important, especially for a detained alien who has no interest in appeal and wishes only to depart. Waiver of appeal permits the execution of a removal order prior to expiration of the 30-day appeal period, thereby sparing the alien additional time in custody and taxpayers the expense of needless detention.”
