Opinion
No. 125183.
September 30, 2004.
SC: 125183, COA: 240752.
Reconsideration Denied.
Leave to appeal denied at 470 Mich 865.
CAVANAGH, J. I concur in denying reconsideration. I write to comment that the considerable documentation defendant presented in support of his claim of rehabilitation is compelling. While it cannot help him procedurally here, I note that the regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, now the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, do not mandate his deportation. Thus, in light of defendant's substantial efforts at rehabilitation and commitment to family, I would encourage the agency to consider exercising its broad discretion in his favor.
WEAVER and KELLY, JJ. We join in the statement of Justice CAVANAGH.
