deportable twenty two was not a federal controlled substance at the time of the violation but there was a wasn't there a corresponding our correspondence to something that was occurred pennsylvania did not include g w h one twenty two on its schedule by me until after my client's conviction for the day after the violation but after the conviction there was a nother substance which the b i said was an a hearing on that i don't think it matters because at the time of the violation it was not a federal controlled substance even if it was a state controlled substance so there's that that it was a state controlled substance there's certainty but it was not a federal controlled substance revamp or two thousand and eleven which is when the violations occurred i think that highlights to me the importance of what of what we're faced with client to show well here so they put it in their brief variance or in brief that there is a realistic probability not a theoretical possibility that the state would apply its statute to conduct the falls outside the generic definition of a that the same way you prove anything else you go to the tailor documents and you want to see what's in the taylor documents now the idea of a realistic probability comes up with the fuzzy felony dismissed terminated the exact same reason it will also apply to a crime relating to a controlled substance so on those two issues i think the arguments we presented are are capable big results when you see a so if you end up going back i guess i should ask you this even if we agreed with you do we need to send it back because that notice to appear contained to other grounds for movability for actually i think the answer to they don't have discretion they don't have the ability to kid of discretion based on the stature except a limited circumstances and when they perceive that somebody is getting is entering into a negotiated plea or a plea bargain that bypasses fact musings of a couple of years you can't even look at that is the argument accurate in light of your own assertion that we are limited to those very narrow categories that are not noted in shepherd thirty three and that they were reading it way out of kotex and they also say well we were looking at the answer to question free to for a non shepherd purpose to right they make the argument in their brief substance not a federal controlled substance why are we piercing through that what are we looking for and why are we looking for it are we looking forward because we're being intellectually honest we just want to know what happened or are we looking for it with a purpose to try to create a i'm sorry but why do you need to remain entity that that's the that's the big question that's puzzling me we have a case we have the issue that should have been joining you made a motion for a day and that was the night you filed that brief and your brief made two arguments which were in essence here's one reason you should read me on and here's another reason you should read and you never seem to address the merits so i guess i've got two questions one does that mean you really just don't have america's argument he ought to just confess error and to have you wait then merits argument because even when asked to file an answer in brief you came up with nothing on the merits as f very true even if that's true if you don't take on the merits have you reassess its position when the law here i'm struggling to find something new you say to be should be able to address it's own work there's not even a hint of a basis so by the same token where you said there ought to be more than a theoretical possibility something out there and that here all of moncrieff why should we send this back because maybe there was something that somebody  can how can that make it a crime when he committed the act are you suggesting that that's not a problem to say when you did this it was raw awful but by the time you got to court it was federally controlled i mean a state controlled substance he at least admitted to being a state controlled substance so we're not talking about whether it might be a basis for removal under a different statutory sub section contained in the notice to appear but there's only one basis and one only on which to be a acted and that is the aggravated felony basis right that's correct ok so would you not acknowledge that it impossible to commit a crime which is not on the books and you can't you can't be responsible and be held to have committed an aggravated felony for something that was not even a crime at the answer what the matter of law as to whether you should apply the modified category roche the matter of law as to whether you should apply the risk a realistic probability test putting the burden on the play of this is what  and that the burden is on the government rather than on the pla that then you come to judge jordan's question was if this was not the state law was this particular controlled substance under state incidence at issue in this case was a federally controlled substance at the time of his conviction i'm just wondering would be a good reason to believe standard comes from what does that even mean not really a rule but it's not the player not the of the third circuit if that doesn't happen continue to be applied to new york and that's where the rubber meets the road and this practice is sometimes referred to as traffic court procedures  and something that both sides agree has to go back to the board anyway first that the bird that cannot be placed on the respondent or on the alien to prove that that there that that resulted in this conviction as opposed to with the conviction itself for this week we have the problem that we have here is what i would like to the court to do is  in this case but also i gather you don't think that realistic probability test makes any sense and should be jettisoned and michael it has absolutely correct because the idea of the real be examples that didn't exist and so the supreme court rightfully said hey you know that's the kid just come up with a theory you have to come up with a reality that this could possibly happen but if you have a substance that's listed as contraband
