UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT C RISANTO C ARINO R AGASA , No. 12-72262 Petitioner , Agency No. v. A037-485-221 E RIC H. H OLDER , J R ., Attorney General, ORDER
Respondent . 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.
