LUCERO, Circuit Judge,
with whom HENRY, Circuit Judge, joins, concurring:
I join Part III and concur in the result of the majority opinion. Because Aguirre-Tello had been convicted of the crime of attempted murder, there is less than a minuscule likelihood that he would have been granted a § 212(c) discretionary waiver. Thus, he ultimately fails to establish the necessary prong of prejudice. Absent prejudice, there can be no relief, and therefore the result reached by the majority opinion reversing the district court is correct. I consider it unnecessary to reach the remaining issues.
