O de novo re, w f that the rspondet h corely aed that his convicton fr
embeuleet is distshable fom a t ofense beuse the verion of th ste under which
be was c and convcte does not dene th crime of embezet t reuir a tpassor or
non-cnal takng (rief a 7-10). See Comoealth v. Brh, 510 S.E.2d 866, 868-869
(2002) (prof of ebezemet under 1994-2003 version of Va Code 18.2-111, which delee
le alowig a det to b ''inicte as fr laceny," w if cet to ssa charge ude
the comon law deton of lacny be embezlemet res no tspassortang). As
evidence tht th respndent's ofese incude the elee of a non-conss t of prope,
the respondent's cme does not q as an agavated flony the ofne.1 Se Si v.
Goles, 419F.3d 276, 283 (4th Cir. 2005) (thetaking ofpropewithoutcnset is a keee
of the crime of thef); Mater of Gcia-Mag, 24 I&N De. 436 (BIA 2008) (clgt a
thef ofense within the me of seon 10l(a)(43XG) ct& of the tang ot o eercise of
contol over, property without cnsen). Ba on the freing, we conlude that th Immigaion
Court erin ssg the reova chae in t c. We f tht th rspndent h prened
exceponal circmces wartng s sponte repeing, and that the Immgon Judge sould
not have deie the respondent's mtion to repe pes, or sbly rs to
reconsider tht decsion. See 8 C.F.R. 1003.23(b);Materoj J-J-, 21 I&NDe. 976 (BIA 197).
Accoringly, the pre s wlb rpened.
Insmuch as the aggavate feony gound of reoval is the sole charge in ths matte, there now
exsts no b to conte the rpee proceegs. Accory, the pre wl b
terminated.
