Larios v. Attorney Gen. of U.S.

Facts

Carlos Javier Larios-Giron was ordered removed in absentia after he did not appear at his removal hearing. He claimed he was not served with the Notice to Appear (NTA) and was unaware of the removal proceedings. However, the NTA indicated that he was personally served and had failed to provide his address, which was a basis for denying his motion to reopen the proceedings.

Analysis

The court found that Larios-Giron was properly served with the NTA, which included his signature and fingerprint, and that he was informed of his obligation to provide an address. The court also noted that his claims of changed country conditions did not demonstrate a material change since his fear of gangs remained the same, and his arguments regarding police corruption were deemed without merit.
