    In the Matter of Robles-Urrea, the Board had held in 2006 that 18 U.S.C. 4 is a categorical CIMT. In so doing, it overruled in part a previous precedent decision, the Matter of Sloan, 12 I&N Dec. 840 (AG 1968; BIA 1966) [PDF version]. In its decision, the Board noted that the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, in Itani v. Ashcroft, had been the only Court of Appeals to have previously considered the question, and in 2002 it had also concluded that 18 U.S.C. 4 is a CIMT.
