greater than a vioation of Section 43 (e) of the California Penal

Code he severity of the potential harm aso epains the basis

for the onghed beief that Section 45 (a) (1) of the Caifornia

Pena Code is a crime involving mora turpitude See onaes v

Barber 207 Fed 2d 398 (9th Cir 1953)

n this case Respondent was convicted of Section

45 (a) (2) of the Caifornia Penal Code he Court notes that in

cfrr v S, 86 Fed 3d 9f9th Cir 1996) the 9th Circuit simpy

statedwithout any anaysis that convictions under California

Penal Code Section 245 (a) () were not crimes invoving mora

turpitde and cited through its prior decision in Komarenko v

IS 35 Fed 3d 43 (9th Circuit 994) as precedent on this

matter However in omarenko supra the 9th Circuit briefy

noted that where an aien conviction under Caifornia Pena Code

Section 45 (a) () cod be a crime invoving mora turpitude

possession of a firearm wi not always be a crime invoving moral

turpitde nor wi crimes of mora turpitude necessariy involve

l firearms does not stand for the proposition that California Pena

Code Section 45 (a) () is not a crime invoving mora turpitude

Instead the 9th Circuit states that it coud be a crime invoving

moral turpitde

For the reasons set forth R:e l the Court�ct ,GJ

concudes that the Respondents offense

invoved moral turpitude

Accordingy the Cot sustains the charge of removability and

finds that the Respondent has faied to estabish by evidence that
