IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS
ON BEHALF OF RESPONDENT:
The respondent has filed an interlocutory appeal from the Immigration Judge's November 24,
2014, decision denying his motion for change of venue. We find it appropriate to exercise our
jurisdiction over this case and address the merits of this appeal. In the respondent's motion for
change of venue, he admitted the factual allegation in the Notice to Appear and conceded
removability. The respondent has submitted
an
and protection under the Convention Against Torture. See sections 208 and 241(b)(3) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, respectively, 8 U.S.C. 1158, 123l(b)(3); 8 C.F.R.
1208.16(c)(2). Having appeared for several master calendar hearings in Dallas, Texas, he
requests that his case be scheduled at the New York, N.Y., Immigration Court in proximity to his
residence and witnesses. The Deparbnent of Homeland Security has indicated that they do not
oppose a change a venue in these proceedings. We find that good cause has been shown, and
will grant the motion to change venue.
Accordingly, the interlocutory appeal will be sustained and venue transferred to the
New York Immigration Court.
