Pro Se materials for non-citizens with multiple drug possession convictions who want to challenge whether their convictions are "aggravated felonies." These materials are based on the the Supreme Court's decision in Lopez v. Gonzales, 127 S. Ct. 625 (2006). In the Lopez decision, the Supreme Court held that a conviction of a felony under state law should only be treated as an aggravated felony if the same offense would be considered a felony under federal law. While simple narcotics possession is a felony in many states, in some cases it is a misdemeanor under federal law.
