Description
FOR PUBLICATION Argued and Submitted May 13, 2004-Pasadena, California OPINION Julio Baltazar-Alcazar (""Mr. Baltazar"") and Maria Guadalupe Baltazar (""Mrs. Baltazar"") petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals (""BIA"") order denying their application for suspension of deportation. The issue before us is whether the Baltazars were denied the right to counsel when the immigration judge banned an entire law firm from representing them at their deportation hearing. We conclude that the Baltazars did not knowingly and voluntarily waive their statutory right to counsel of choice and that they were prejudiced by the denial of that right. We grant the petition for review.
