well as the credibility issue asserting that those issues can be further addressed on remaining the respondent has challenged the petitioners assertion that his is that he was not that he was not convicted of an aggravated felony the army was presented by their respondent appear to be non responsive to the issue is raised by than by the petitioner i would note that the petitioner has not asserted that he was charged under the pennsylvania simple possession a statute and the respondent appears to have spent the entirety of his argument or its argument on addressing that issue rather the petitioner contends that he was working seeds that he was in involved in this case was not proven to be more than thirty grams in the removal proceedings being yes i just want to make sure i understand you're not disputing today that mr davis had forty seven and a half pounds of marijuana as i understand your argument you're saying under the controlling legal framework we don't have anything that we can look at to see that amount is that correct marianas not correct and we're not we're not conceding the amount of the drugs we do concede that it's listed at that as being that amount in the sentencing document the the judgment from the delaware county court but the response that the petitioner has not conceded that it was al were there was discussion though at the hearing about the drugs being filling two suitcases right you know i don't recall that that information i would just indicate that what appears to be confession of that fact well not preclude his being able to apply for cancellation of or more about whether or not eliminate his opportunity to apply for asylum or withholding and what not mandate a finding that he committed a particularly ok but we're saying our argument is that it was not established that the amount of drugs involved exceeded the america that would enable him to a nonetheless be considered to have a small amount of marijuana right because the only proof of the amount was a document that should not have been considered correct yes that's  so basically you're saying technically that under the modified categorical approach there are certain things you can consider the statutory definition of charging document a plea agreement transcript violation of the controlled substances that a felony in violation of the controlled substance that that the id thirteen is not the cause of the game so what is the what is the appropriate relief here assuming that we agree that the board erred in relying on the judgment of conviction i mean do we send it back to the board and say hey go see if there's a record on the immigration form or what  is it that we're supposed to do that we would argue that the relief that's what would be required would be renewed and so that the respondent mr davis i'm sorry the petitioner can apply for release in the form mand for the purpose of least five different times that this particular statute requires the modified well there are if this gets really to the heart of one of the complications in this case in the way that has been litigated up until now which is the way this core has previously examined the statute has nary a selfie is you quickly look at his actions say it does not appear to include any minute amount required and amount or controlled substance really much different let's take that route no not all of those cases without question the analysis to sort of focused on was the condition records but the point to govern is nothing in this is very important here is that none of those cases actually address the not meaningfully address whether or not the statute actually could even be applied to small or not conduct which is considered a mystery here exception under federal law right what happened is and this is establish a realistic probability not just a theoretical possibility that the state would apply the statute to smaller amounts notice thankfully generator those cases are simply contrary to law i don't think i don't think we're even in the the sort of arena of where realistic probability or apply here because that's where you don't necessarily have a match on comments and there might be some theoretical way in which the statute might be apply there not to be and i'm talking about cases where it appears the defendant was charged under this statute for small amounts why is that theoretical and if you're saying that contrary to law so what how do i know that from the that case in this court's attention where you have kids that are unpublished and that clearly are contrary to settled and presidential law and state they're simply contrary to how the state actually interprets its law and unfortunately activity that in those cases that's not a federal felony in the modified categorical approach i said i simply don't know how i get around that you know as i certainly understand your concern agenda and i want to be very clear about well what it actually did was apply the modified categorical approach so if we don't say you apply the modified categorical approach unless we think you need to apply the modified categorical approach a respect that  moncrief from the supreme court which as you mention are british also i believe in two thousand and thirteen specifically recognized pennsylvania as among a small minority of states that because they have these separate sections under she's law not conduct may very clear way to distinguish between what would be considered felony and what would be considered a misdemeanor under federal law and thus easy to identify the category of matter but when i look at the early look at the pennsylvania cases pos conflict or you consistency in the law and our position is no is not a realistic probability nor that is out of any conflict of the law is clearly cases that have been decided contrary to settle in clear law on how subsection certains allow for consideration under the modify category approach i don't believe it is your honor but our position here is that you can't even get we don't we don't believe you can get to modify a get it a bit you yeah you've got to argue categori and that again under the prior analysis that we were conducting in our office in courts of conduct across the country not just the rd circuit that is what often happens because it was practically much easier on the house i don't think that any of that if that's what had this panel can look at those and look at cases like today on board and how pennsylvania actually applies its law and even judge amber to extend again at this court feels constrained by its precedence  say that the cases that we're looking at there are unpublished and contrary to law is there anyone who said hey guys i was convicted under a statue that and it's contrary to law and challenged in the st place because unfortunately but not uncommonly this happens in state prosecutions where some aspect of the statute that is contrary to the law is unfortunately prosecuted that way and because that aspect of the law was not challenge you have convictions that proceed i mean i don't cases like this before really have actual additional offenses because it involves a different substance even though substance is not divisible under that statute so the very fact of having these cases where you ha separate conditions under subsection three even though they are not small not on multiple not on there does not establish that the law actually applies this way those cases are simply contrary to settle pennsylvania law if somebody does raise that challenge say well i was prosecuted under the general provisions even though this was p with small amount under the normal ration i think it's quite clear based on tuesday and were in the back the supreme court has recognized those cases that they would say yeah that's wrong we're going to
