The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) erred in concluding Petitioner's proposed social group was not cognizable for purposes of asylum and withholding of removal. The Court also held the BIA erred with regard to Petitioner's Convention Against Torture application. Following remand, counsel filed a claim for attorney's fees and costs pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2412(b).
