IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

 

No. 03-60387

Summary Calendar

 

REINA ISABEL FLORES-VIATORO,

Petitioner,

versus

JOHN ASHCROFT, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL,

Respondent.

Petition for Review of an Order from the

Board of Immigration Appeals

BIA No. A28 719 066

Before JONES, BENAVIDES and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Reina Isabel Flores-Viatoro (Flores) has filed a petition

for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirmance of the

denial by the Immigration Judge (IJ) of Flores’s application for

asylum and for withholding of deportation. Flores argues that the

IJ failed to view Flores’s rape in El Salvador as an act of

persecution. She also argues that her attorney did not receive a

copy of the motion to reinstate the deportation proceedings, which
2

had been administratively closed, and that the failure to mail her

attorney a copy of the motion constituted a due process violation.

We construe the respondent’s motion for summary affirmance as its

brief.

The IJ’s denial of Flores’s application for asylum and

for withholding of deportation was based upon a determination that

Flores was not a credible witness. We will not disturb the IJ’s

credibility determinations. Efe v. Ashcroft, 293 F.3d 899, 905

(5th Cir. 2002); Chun v. INS, 40 F.3d 76, 78 (5th Cir. 1994).

Flores did not raise in the proceedings before the BIA the issue of

failure to be forwarded a copy of the motion to reinstate. See

8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a). We will not address this issue, which Flores

raises for the first time in her petition for review. Goonsuwan v.

Ashcroft, 252 F.3d 383, 389-91 (5th Cir. 2001).

The respondent’s motion for summary affirmance and other

motions are DENIED. Flores’s motion to vacate the BIA decision and

remand the case for additional proceedings is DENIED.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. MOTIONS DENIED.

§ 549.203 Holding of funds in interest-bearing accounts; investment and reinvestment. ( a ) Except as provided in paragraphs (c) or (d) of this section, or as otherwise directed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, any U.S. person holding funds, such as currency, bank deposits, or liquidated financial obligations, subject to § 549.201(a) shall hold or place such funds in a blocked interest-bearing account located in the United States.
( b ) ( 1 ) For purposes of this section, the term *blocked interest-bearing account* means a blocked account: ( i ) In a Federally-insured U.S. bank, thrift institution, or credit union, provided the funds are earning interest at rates that are commercially reasonable; or
( ii ) With a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a *et seq.*), provided the funds are invested in a money market fund or in U.S. Treasury bills.
( 2 ) For purposes of this section, a rate is commercially reasonable if it is the rate currently offered to other depositors on deposits or instruments of comparable size and maturity.
( 3 ) Funds held or placed in a blocked account pursuant to this paragraph (b) may not be invested in instruments the maturity of which exceeds 180 days. If interest is credited to a separate blocked account or subaccount, the name of the account party on each account must be the same.
( c ) Blocked funds held in instruments the maturity of which exceeds 180 days at the time the funds become subject to § 549.201(a) may continue to be held until maturity in the original instrument, provided any interest, earnings, or other proceeds derived therefrom are paid into a blocked interest-bearing account in accordance with paragraphs (b) or (d) of this section.
( d ) Blocked funds held in accounts or instruments outside the United States at the time the funds become subject to § 549.201(a) may continue to be held in the same type of accounts or instruments, provided the funds earn interest at rates that are commercially reasonable.
( e ) This section does not create an affirmative obligation for the holder of blocked tangible property, such as chattels or real estate, or of other blocked property, such as debt or equity securities, to sell or liquidate such property. However, the Office of Foreign Assets Control may issue licenses permitting or directing such sales or liquidation in appropriate cases.
( f ) Funds subject to this section may not be held, invested, or reinvested in a manner that provides immediate financial or economic benefit or access to any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to § 549.201(a), nor may their holder cooperate in or facilitate the pledging or other attempted use as collateral of blocked funds or other assets.
#### UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jesus Pena CARDENAS, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 99-10140.

D.C. No. CR-98-05249-REC.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted Feb. 12, 2001.1

Decided Feb. 21, 2001.

*439Before LEAVY, THOMAS, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.

1

. The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. *See*Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).

MEMORANDUM2

Jesus Pena Cardenas appeals the 120-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846 and 841(a)(1). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742, and we vacate and remand for resentencing.

Cardenas contends that the district court erred by finding that he was ineligible for the safety valve under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f) without first affording him an evidentiary hearing on disputed facts. We review the district court’s findings of fact for clear error, *United States v. Real-Hernandez,*90 F.3d 356, 360 (9th Cir.1996), and the denial of an evidentiary hearing for abuse of discretion. *United States v. Houston,*217 F.3d 1204, 1206-07 (9th Cir.2000).

The relevant dispute is whether Cardenas was honest in his debriefing with government agents. The pre-sentence report stated that the agents told the probation officer that Cardenas had not been forthcoming. Defense counsel, who had been present at the debriefing, argued that that characterization was inaccurate. Faced with this dispute of fact, the district court should have allowed Cardenas to offer evidence to meet his burden of proof for the safety valve. *See*Fed.R.Crim.P. 32(c)(1) (requiring such an opportunity, whether by evidentiary hearing or otherwise).3

We express no opinion on whether Cardenas will be able to produce evidence adequate to prove his eligibility for the safety valve. *Cf. United States v. Shrestha,*86 F.3d 935, 940 (9th Cir.1996) (describing burden of proof).

VACATED and REMANDED for re-sentencing.

. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as may be provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

. Allocution is not a substitute for declarations or direct and cross examination. Com*pare*Fed.R.Crim.P. 32(c)(1) *with*Rule 32(c)(3)(C); *cf. United States v. Daas,*198 F.3d 1167, 1181-82 (9th Cir.1999) (explaining role of allocution), *cert. denied,*531 U.S. 999, 121 S.Ct. 498, 148 L.Ed.2d 468 (2000).

				Special Agent			

Deceased				October 24, 2004			

Edward Joseph Seitz, Diplomatic Security (DS) Special Agent and16-year DS veteran, died on October 24, 2004, in a rocket attack in Baghdad, Iraq.

In a statement to the media a few hours after his death, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said, “Ed’s death is a tragic loss for me personally, and for all of his colleagues at the Department of State. He died in the service of his country and for the cause of liberty and freedom for others.”

In a message to DS employees, Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security Francis X. Taylor and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Joe Morton, Director of the Diplomatic Security Service, echoed the Secretary’s remarks. “Ed...epitomized the best of our bureau. He will be remembered as a man of enormous generosity–one who was always thinking of others first....We will all remember his honor, his courage, his dedication to duty, and his sacrifice.”

From Cleveland, Ohio, Edward Seitz’s service with DS encompassed a wide area of responsibilities that included investigating terrorism cases following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. He also served in diplomatic missions in Sanaa, Yemen, and Shenyang, China, before joining the Diplomatic Security team in Baghdad.

“He died in the service of his country and for the cause of liberty and freedom for others.” — U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell.
