Teacher:In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: that the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) wrongfully found him statutorily ineligible for discretionary relief from deportation under former 212(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1182(c). Reviewing the record de novo and giving deference to the BIA's permissible interpretations, see INS v. Aguirre-Aguirre, 526 U.S. 415, 424, 119 S.Ct. 1439, 143 L.Ed.2d 590 (1999), we affirm for the following reasons: 1. Former 212(c) limits eligibility for discretionary relief to "aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence." See 8 U.S.C. 1182(c). Where permanent residency status is obtained by false pretenses the "legally admitted for permanent resident" requirement of former 212(c) is not met. See, e.g., Matter of Longstaff, 716 F.2d 1439, 1441 (5th Cir.1983) (<HOLDING>); Rodriguez v. Ashcroft, 58 Fed.Appx. 596, 2003
Holding statements: (A) holding that admission is not lawful if it is regular only in form the term lawfully denotes compliance with substantive legal requirements not mere procedural regularity (B) holding that when a term is not defined in a contract the presumption is that the term is to be given its ordinary meaning and significance (C) holding that statement within expert report is not a judicial admission but is instead an admission by party (D) holding that it is not (E) holding that standard of review is a matter of procedural rather than substantive law
