Accordingly, the following order will be entered.

ON BEHALF OF RESPONDENT: KRISTEN WILLIAMS-BLEDHILL, Esquire

ON BEHALF OF DHS: GREG RADICS, Esquire
Assistant Chief Counsel

ORAL DECISION OF THE IMMIGRATION JUDGE

The respondent is an adult male, native and citizen of Guatemala who
was placed in removal proceedings with the filing of a Notice to Appear with the Court,
charging removability pursuant to the provisions at 212(a)(6)(A)(i) of the INA (Exhibit 1 ).
Respondent filed written pleadings acknowledging proper service of the Notice to
Appear, admitting the factual allegations, and conceding removability (Exhibit 2).
Respondent seeks a continuance for adjudication of an application for
Deferred Action Childhood Arrival ("DACA") (Exhibit 3). An application for DACA is

separate and apart from the respondent's removal proceedings. Even a final order of
removal does not prevent the respondent from seeking deferred action. Furthermore,
should it become necessary, a request for a stay of removal pending consideration of

Homeland Security. See 8 C.F.R. 24 1.6(a) and 1241.6(a). Respondent makes no other
application for relief, including voluntary departure. Given the fact that removability has
been established by clear and convincing evidence,the Court would order removal from
the United States to Guatemala on the charge contained in the Notice to Appear.
