In 1998, plaintiff, a lawful permanent resident facing removal for an aggravated felony conviction filed suit against the United States Immigration and Naturalization Services in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, alleging that the INS violated his due process and equal protection rights by not "serving him with charges and notice of bond." Plaintiff sought injunctive relief and compensatory damages. Plaintiff was removed on June 30, 1998.
The government moved to dismiss and plaintiff requested leave to amend his complaint. The District Court (Judge Lewis T. Babcock) dismissed Janet Reno from the case but otherwise denied the government's motion to dismiss. The Court allowed plaintiff to amend his complaint to add a request for class certification but denied it with respect to his request that the government rescind its removal order.
