Pereira v. Sessions
2018 United States Supreme Court case / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pereira v. Sessions, Attorney General, no. 17-459, 585 U.S (2018), is a United States Supreme Court case regarding immigration. In an 8-1 majority, the Court reversed a lower court’s decision by ruling that a Notice to Appear which does not inform a noncitizen when and where to appear for a removal proceeding is not valid under 8 U.S. Code § 1229(b) and therefore does not trigger the stop-time rule which is used to calculate the ten year continuous presence requirement for non-lawful permanent residents.[1] The majority opinion was authored by Justice Sonia Sotomayor while the dissent was authored by Justice Samuel Alito.
