Upon his release from the Department of Corrections on Jan. 16, 2009, Jian Teng Xu will be immediately delivered to Immigration officials for deportation proceedings.
According to the Attorney General’s Office and the Division of Immigration Services, rather than proceeding with a hearing to show cause as to why the 43-year old Jian Teng Xu should not be deported, he has agreed to waive his right to a deportation hearing and proceed with the stipulation.
The AGO said the respondent did not dispute that he is a deportable alien convicted of five felonies, including illegal possession of controlled substance, and has no right to remain in the commonwealth.
He signed a deportation order on Oct. 7, 2008 indicating that he understood that the order is a permanent ban from the CNMI.
Associate Judge David A. Wiseman sentenced Jian Teng Xu to a year’s jail term for four counts of illegal possession of methamphetamine or “ice” in 2007 and another one year jail term for the another case this year. Both sentences will run concurrently, with credit for time already served and with no eligibility for parole.
The defendant entered into a plea agreement and pleaded guilty to the charges.
According to an affidavit of Detective Elias Q. Saralu, a confidential source purchased “ice” from the defendant totaling to $1,250 in four separate occasions in December last year. Jian Teng Xu was arrested after the confidential source paid $500 for “ice” in a store parking lot in Koblerville on Dec. 17, 2007.
