Description
Stanley Russell Scales, Jr. ("Petitioner"), petitions for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA"), dismissing his appeal from a final order of deportation. Petitioner contends that he is a United States citizen by virtue of his fathers U.S. citizenship; therefore, that he is not deportable under S 241(a)(2)(A)(iii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA"), 8 U.S.C. S 1251(a)(2)(A)(iii), as an alien convicted of an aggravated felony. We must decide whether 8 U.S.C. S 1401 requires a blood relationship between a person born outside the United States and his U.S. citizen parent, a question of first impression. We hold that it does not, and so grant the petition.
