BACKGROUND
On October 8, 2015, Caleb Fares Giha (“Petitioner” or “Caleb”) filed with the United
19
States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit a petition for review of a final order of removal of
20
the Board of Immigration Appeals (the “Board”). Giha v. Sessions, No. 15-73085 (9th Cir.). On
21
June 23, 2016, the Ninth Circuit found that a genuine issue of material fact exists as to
22
petitioner’s claim of United States citizenship, and transferred the matter to this court pursuant to
23
8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(5)(B) for a de novo review of Petitioner’s claim of derivative citizenship
24
under former 8 U.S.C. § 1432. (ECF No. 1). Petitioner is currently detained by Immigration and
25
Customs Enforcement pursuant to a temporary stay of removal pending resolution of this matter.
26
On September 28, 2017, the United States Attorney General (“Respondent”) moved for
27
summary judgment on the ground that Petitioner cannot establish citizenship eligibility under §
28
1432(a). (ECF No. 42). Respondent argues that Petitioner is unable to show that his biological
1
1
parents were legally separated because Petitioner’s mother had a prior outstanding marriage that
2
impeded her ability to marry Petitioner’s father. Id. On December 21, 2017, Petitioner submitted
3
his opposition to the motion for summary judgment, and requested further discovery. (ECF No.
4
50). On January 11, 2018, Respondent submitted his reply. (ECF No. 53).
5
On February 8, 2018, the Court directed the parties to conduct limited discovery and to
6
submit supplemental briefs. (ECF No. 55). On April 10, 2018, and May 1, 2018, Respondent and
7
Petitioner submitted their respective supplemental briefs. (ECF Nos. 56, 57). On May 14, 2018,
8
Respondent submitted a supplemental reply brief. (ECF No. 58).
9
On July 11, 2018, the Court heard oral arguments, and took the motion under advisement.
10
(ECF No. 65). After careful consideration of the parties’ briefs and the relevant legal authority,
11
the Court finds that Respondent is entitled to summary judgment.

UNDISPUTED FACTS
Caleb Fares Giha was born in Lima, Peru on June 1, 1982. His biological parents are
Walter Victor Giha (“Walter”) and Maria del Pilar Hernandez Marquez (“Maria”).
Walter was born in Lima, Peru on March 23, 1936. On June 22, 1959, Walter married
16
Jesus Mansilla (“Jesus”). On October 26, 1970, according to Peruvian civil registry, Walter and
17
Jesus divorced.
18
Maria was born in Lima, Peru on February 9, 1953. On August 16, 1973, Maria married
19
Gandolfo Salvador Mestre Saenz (“Gandolfo”). On March 2, 1977, Maria and Gandolfo bore a
20
son. Their son’s birth certificate indicates that Maria and Gandolfo were married at the time of
21
his birth.
22
Between 1977 and 1979, Maria and Walter started dating, and later began living together
23
in Lima, Peru. They had two children: Zoila Erika Giha Hernandez (“Zoila”) on October 2, 1983,
24
and Petitioner, Caleb Jorge Giha Hernandez. They never married at a courthouse, a municipality,
25
or a church. They never registered a civil union and never had a civil union recognized by a
26
Peruvian court. A search of Peruvian civil registry found “no record of marriage” between Maria
27
and Walter. Maria ended her relationship with Walter in 1986 or 1987, when she left Walter,
28
Zoila, and Caleb.
2
On May 4, 1990, Walter obtained authorization to travel to the United States with Caleb.
1
2
On August 27, 1990, Walter, Caleb, and Zoila were admitted to the United States as lawful
3
permanent residents. Caleb was eight years old.
On August 19, 1999, when Caleb was seventeen years old, Walter became a naturalized
4
5
citizen of the United States. Caleb did not naturalize on his own accord.

LEGAL STANDARDS
A. Summary Judgment
Summary judgment is appropriate where “the movant shows that there is no genuine
9
dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Fed.
10
R. Civ. P. 56(a). A dispute of fact is “genuine” if “the evidence is such that a reasonable jury
11
could return a verdict for the nonmoving party,” and a fact is “material” if it “might affect the
12
outcome of the suit under the governing law.” Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242,
13
248 (1986). Where the moving party will have the burden of proof on an issue at trial, it must
14
“affirmatively demonstrate that no reasonable trier of fact could find other than for the moving
15
party.” Soremkin v. Thrifty Payless, Inc., 509 F.3d 978, 984 (9th Cir. 2007). “On an issue as to
16
which the nonmoving party will have the burden of proof, however, the movant can prevail
17
merely by pointing out that there is an absence of evidence to support the nonmoving party’s
18
case.” Id. (citing Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323 (1986)).
19
Once the moving party meets this initial burden, the nonmoving party must “go beyond
20
the pleadings and by [his] own affidavits, or by ‘the depositions, answers to interrogatories, and
21
admissions on file,’ designate ‘specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial.’”
22
Burch v. Regents of Univ. of Cal., 433 F.Supp.2d 1110, 1125 (E.D. Cal. 2006) (quoting Celotex
23
Corp, 477 U.S. at 324). The evidence of the nonmoving party is “to be believed, and all
24
justifiable inferences are to be drawn in his favor.” Anderson, 477 U.S. at 255. “[T]he judge’s
25
function is not [her]self to weigh the evidence and determine the truth of the matter but to
26
determine whether there is a genuine issue for trial.” Forsberg v. Pac. Nw. Bell Tel. Co., 840
27
F.2d 1409, 1418 (9th Cir. 1988) (quoting Anderson, 477 U.S. at 249).
28
Nevertheless, the evidence must be significantly probative to support the claims. Id. at
3
1
248–49. The nonmoving party cannot defeat summary judgment by merely demonstrating “that
2
there is some metaphysical doubt as to the material facts.” Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co., Ltd. v.
3
Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 586 (1986). If the evidence of the nonmoving party is merely
4
colorable or is not significantly probative, summary judgment may be granted. Anderson, 477
5
U.S. at 249–50.
6
B. Derivative Citizenship Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1432(a)
7
“Citizenship for one not born in the United States may be acquired ‘only as provided by
8
Acts of Congress.’” Minasyan v. Gonzales, 401 F.3d 1069, 1075 (9th Cir. 2005) (quoting Miller
9
v. Albright, 523 U.S. 420, 424 (1998)). Derivative citizenship—a grant of citizenship to a
10
foreign-born child upon the naturalization of a parent—is determined by the law in effect at the
11
time that the critical events giving rise to eligibility occurred. Minasyan, 401 F.3d at 1075.
12
Immigration and Nationality Act § 321(a), codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1432(a) (repealed 2000), which
13
was in effect at the time of Walter’s naturalization, governs Petitioner’s claim to citizenship.
14
Section 1432(a) provides, in pertinent part:
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
(a) A child born outside of the United States of alien parents . . .
becomes a citizen of the United States upon fulfillment of the
following conditions: . . .
(3) The naturalization of the parent having legal custody of the
child when there has been a legal separation of the parents or the
naturalization of the mother if the child was born out of wedlock
and the paternity of the child has not been established by
legitimation; and if
(4) Such naturalization takes place while such child is under the
age of eighteen years; and
(5) Such child is residing in the United States pursuant to a lawful
admission for permanent residence at the time of the naturalization
of the parent last naturalized under clause (1) of this subsection, or
the parent naturalized under clause (2) or (3) of this subsection, or
thereafter begins to reside permanently in the United States while
under the age of eighteen years.
25
8 U.S.C. § 1432(a) (repealed by Pub. L. 106–395, Title I, § 103(a), Oct. 30, 2000, 114 Stat.
26
1632) (emphasis added).
27
“‘[L]egal separation of the parents,’ as words in a federal statute, must take their meaning
28
from federal law.” Wedderburn v. I.N.S., 215 F.3d 795, 799 (7th Cir. 2000). Under Ninth Circuit
4
1
precedent, a legal separation must be preceded by a legal marriage. Barthelemy v. Ashcroft, 329
2
F.3d 1062, 1065 (9th Cir.2003) (holding that a petitioner did not “enjoy derivative citizenship
3
under the first clause of § 321(a)(3) because his natural parents never married and thus could not
4
legally separate.” (emphasis in original)). However, because there is no federal law of domestic
5
relations, “legal marriage” must be defined as recognized by state or foreign law. Minasyan, 401
6
F.3d at 1076-77.
C. Peruvian Domestic Relations Law1,2
7
8
Under Peruvian law, marriage is the voluntary union of a male and a female, formalized
9
subject to the provisions of the Civil Code of Peru, for the purpose of having a life in common.
10
See Civil Code of Peru art. 234 (1984). The Civil Code recognizes two types of such voluntary
11
unions: marriage and de facto union. See Civil Code of Peru bk. III (1984). A marriage must be
12
celebrated in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code, and has no legal effect unless a
13
certificate of marriage is registered in the civil registry. See Civil Code of Peru art. 126, 1069
14
(1936).
15
A de facto union is a voluntary union between a male and a female to achieve purposes
16
and fulfill duties similar to those of matrimony. See Civil Code of Peru art. 326 (1984).
17
Specifically, Article 326 provides, in pertinent part:
18
A de facto union, carried out voluntarily between a male and a
female, free of matrimonial impediments, in order to achieve
purposes and fulfill duties similar to those of matrimony, gives rise
to the community property regime, when applicable as long as that
union has lasted at least two continuous years.
19
20
21
The constant possession of this status, beginning at an approximate
date, may be proven with any of the methods admitted by
procedural laws, as long as there exists prima facie documentary
evidence.
22
23
A de facto union may end by reason of death, absence, mutual
agreement or unilateral decision. In this last case, the judge may
24
25

26
27
28
During the relevant period, 1973 to 1984, there were two successive Civil Code of Peru in effect, the 1936 Civil
Code and the 1984 Civil Code.
2
Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 44.1, “In determining foreign law, the court may consider any relevant material or
source, including testimony, whether or not submitted by a party or admissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence.
The court's determination must be treated as a ruling on a question of law.” Accordingly, in determining Peruvian
domestic relations law, the Court has consulted all relevant sources and testimony offered by the parties as well as
other sources available to the Court.
5
award, at the request of the abandoned party, a sum of money as
compensation for damages or maintenance, aside from the party’s
rights in accordance to the due process of the law in regards to a
community property regime.

(emphasis added).
4
Pursuant to Article 82, those who are married are absolutely impeded from entering into a
5
subsequent marriage or de facto union. See Civil Code of Peru art. 82 subsec. 5 (1936); Civil
6
Code of Peru art. 241 subsec. 5 (1984), ECF No. 42-21 (“Unable to contract matrimony are: . . .
7
(5) Those who are married.”). A marriage is dissolved, and the bond of marriage desisted, by
8
means of divorce, nullification, or death of one of the spouses. See Civil Code of Peru art. 101,
9
253, 132 (1936). A divorce or nullification may be obtained through a judicial proceeding and
10
final judgment. See Civil Code of Peru bk. IV, VI (1936).
11
Judgments of divorce and nullity of marriage are registered in the civil registry. See Civil
12
Code of Peru art. 1069 subsec. 5 (1936); Law No. 26589(2030(6)), ECF No. 57-8 at 2; Law No.
13
26497(44(i)), ECF No. 57-10 at 2. Pursuant to Article 65 of the First Regulation for the
14
Organization and Operation of the Registry of Civil Status, “[t]he final judgment granting
15
divorce or annulment of marriage shall be forwarded by the Court to the official in charge of
16
vital records at the location where the marriage certificate was issued.” (ECF No. 56-7 at 2).
17
Article 66 further provides:
18
Once the [final judgment granting divorce or nullification] has
been received, the contents of the [judgment] shall be noted in the
margin of the certificate, and the date on which it was issued, the
name of the judge and the notary public involved in the matter
shall be indicated. This note shall be signed by the clerk in charge
of the registry office and the record shall be archived in the
applicable file with the same number of the marriage certificate to
which it refers.

Id.
Prior to 1995, each municipality maintained a civil registry. Pursuant to Law No. 26497,
enacted in 1995, a National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (“RENIEC”) was created
to organize and maintain identification records of natural persons, and to record the facts and acts
related to their legal capacity and civil status. Law No. 26497, ECF No. 56-12 at 1-8. The
supplementary provisions of Law No. 26497 also provide:
6
Within a period not to exceed thirty-six (36) months from the
effective date of this law, the staff and records that belong to the
civil registry offices of local governments shall be included in the
National Registry of Identification and Civil Status.
1

3
The National Headquarters of the Registry of Identification and
Civil Status is authorized to establish the procedures needed for
relevant transfer and integration.

D. BURDEN OF PROOF
6
In general, the government bears the burden of establishing the removability of an alien
7
by clear and convincing evidence. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(3)(A); see also Berenyi v. Dist. Dir.,
8
Immigration & Naturalization Serv., 385 U.S. 630, 636–37 (1967) (“When the Government
9
seeks to strip a person of citizenship already acquired, or deport a resident alien and send him
10
from our shores, it carries the heavy burden of proving its case by ‘clear, unequivocal, and
11
convincing evidence.’ But when an alien seeks to obtain the privileges and benefits of
12
citizenship, the shoe is on the other foot. He is the moving party, affirmatively asking the
13
Government to endow him with all the advantages of citizenship.”). However, a foreign-born
14
petitioner in a declaratory judgment action pursuant to § 1252(b)(5)(B) bears the burden of
15
proving citizenship by a preponderance of the evidence. See Scales v. INS, 232 F.3d 1159, 1163
16
(9th Cir. 2000) (“Evidence of foreign birth, however, gives rise to a rebuttable presumption of
17
alienage, and the burden then shifts to the petitioner to prove citizenship.”); Sanchez–Martinez v.
18
INS, 714 F.2d 72, 74 n.1 (9th Cir. 1983) (“In the de novo hearing in district court, the citizen is in
19
the position of a plaintiff seeking a declaratory judgment. . . . He or she bears the initial burden
20
of proof.”); Murphy v. I.N.S., 54 F.3d 605, 609–10 (9th Cir.1995) (indicating that a respondent
21
with foreign birth subject to deportation bears the burden of proving derivative citizenship by a
22
preponderance of the evidence); see e.g. Anderson v. Holder, No. CIV. 2:09-2519WBSJFM,
23
2010 WL 1734979, at *3 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 27, 2010) (“In a proceeding under 8 U.S.C. §
24
1252(b)(5), the petitioner bears the burden of proving citizenship by a preponderance of the
25
evidence.”).
26
IV.
27
28
DISCUSSION
Petitioner contends that he obtained derivative citizenship pursuant to former 8 U.S.C. §
1432(a)(3)-(5) on August 19, 1999, when his father became a United States citizen. It is
7
1
undisputed that Petitioner was under the age of eighteen and was lawfully residing in the United
2
States at the time of his father’s naturalization. He thus meets the requirements of subsections
3
(a)(4) and (a)(5). The sole dispute in this matter is whether Petitioner meets the requirements of
4
subsection (a)(3). The threshold issue is whether “there has been a legal separation of the
5
parents,” i.e. whether Maria and Walter were “legally separated,” which requires a legal
6
marriage.
7
Respondent contends that Petitioner cannot establish that his biological parents were
8
legally separated because his parents, Maria and Walter, could not have legally married or
9
entered a de facto union due to Maria’s prior outstanding marriage. It is undisputed that Maria
10
was legally and formally married to Gandolfo prior to starting her relationship with Walter. In
11
addition, there is no record showing that Maria and Gandolfo’s marriage was dissolved.
12
In support of his motion for summary judgment, Respondent offers the declaration of
13
Carla Gal’Lino, an employee of the United States Department of Homeland Security in Lima,
14
Peru. (ECF No. 56-1 at 2). Ms. Gal’Lino states that in the course of her employment she has used
15
RENIEC for 10 years. Id. She has familiarity and understanding of the system and the records
16
and information maintained in the database. Id. She also has knowledge of the process of
17
registration of civil acts and is familiar with the ongoing process of incorporating the civil
18
registries of various municipalities into RENIEC. Id.
19
Ms. Gal’Lino states that she contacted the sub-manager of the civil registry of RENIEC,
20
who conducted a search of the database and located the marriage record of Maria and Gandolfo.
21
(ECF No. 42-4 at 3). The record indicated that Maria and Gandolfo were married in the San
22
Martin de Porres municipality, which is one of the 43 municipalities of Lima. Id. The civil
23
registry of San Martin de Porres was fully incorporated into the RENIEC database on January 5,
24
2007. (ECF No. 56-1 at 6; 56-15 at 2). She went directly to a RENIEC office to obtain the
25
marriage certificate of Maria and Gandolfo and to search for a possible divorce. Id. On April 12,
26
2017, she obtained a copy of the marriage certificate, and did not locate any annotation
27
indicating that Maria or Gandolfo had dissolved their marriage. Id.
28
Respondent tenders the marriage certificate of Maria and Gandolfo. (ECF No. 42-6 at 4).
8
1
The marriage certificate does not have an annotation regarding divorce on the left margin. Id.
2
Respondent argues that the absence of an annotation demonstrates that Maria and Gandolfo
3
never divorced, and that Maria had a prior outstanding marriage.
4
Respondent, therefore, has met his initial burden on summary judgment of establishing
5
that there is an absence of evidence to support Petitioner’s claim that his parents were legally
6
separated. The burden now shifts to Petitioner to offer evidence of specific facts showing that
7
there is a genuine issue for trial.
8
Petitioner asserts that the absence of a notation on a marriage certificate does not
9
affirmatively establish Maria’s marital status because RENIEC has incorporated incomplete and
10
inaccurate municipal records. Petitioner argues that this question creates a genuine dispute of
11
material fact as to whether Maria was divorced.
12
In opposition to the motion for summary judgment, Petitioner tenders the opinions of
13
William Reuben and Jose V. Gallegos. Mr. Reuben is the Minister Counsellor and Consul
14
General at the Embassy of Costa Rica in United Arab Emirates. (ECF No. 57-1 at 3). Since 1999,
15
he has worked as a Social Development Specialist to the World Bank, and performed research on
16
the civil registry system in Peru. Id. He is the co-author of the paper, “Identification as a National
17
Priority: The Unique Case of Peru.” Id. Mr. Reuben further states that during the 1970s and
18
1980s, the civil registries were poorly supervised and dependent on the municipal governments,
19
which were corrupt and badly run. Id. at 4. RENIEC was created in 1995 in response to the
20
poorly maintained and decentralized civil registries. Id. RENIEC has prioritized national
21
identification at the expense of updating and integrating records pertaining to marriage and
22
divorce, and as a consequence the civil registry records in RENIEC can be unreliable. Id. at 5.
23
RENIEC is focused on integrating the new registries and is still struggling to integrate the
24
historical civil records, especially divorce and marriage records. Id.
25
26
27
28
Mr. Gallegos is an associate professor of Social Development at Universidad de Piura in
Lima, Peru, and has extensive knowledge of vital records in Peru. (ECF No. 57-4 at 2). Mr.
Gallegos states that in order for divorce records to appear in RENIEC, an individual must
retrieve the record from the municipality where the divorce took place and submit it to RENIEC.
9
1
Municipal governments process divorces and keep the official records of marriages. Mr.
2
Gallegos further states that during the 1970s and 1980s, the municipalities were not in charge of
3
issuing divorce decrees, and individuals would dissolve marriages through the Courts of Peace.
4
Id. at 3. “As such, documentation of divorce proceedings may not have been registered with the
5
local government office.” Id.
6
Petitioner does not provide evidence that RENIEC has failed to fully incorporate
7
available records from the relevant municipality, San Martin de Porres. Both Ms. Gal’Lino and
8
Mr. Reuben agree that RENIEC is incomplete. Ms. Gal’Lino states that incorporation of civil
9
registries into RENIEC is an ongoing process, and Mr. Reuben states that RENIEC is still
10
struggling to integrate the historical civil records. (ECF Nos. 56-1 at 6; 57-1 at 5). However, Ms.
11
Gal’Lino also states that the civil registry of San Martin de Porres—where Maria and Gandolfo
12
were married and where their divorce must be registered—has been fully incorporated into
13
RENIEC as of January 5, 2007. (ECF Nos. 56-1 at 6; 56-15 at 2). Mr. Reuben does not state that
14
San Martin de Porres has not been incorporated into RENIEC, and Petitioner does not rebut
15
Respondent’s evidence that the records of the municipality have been fully incorporated into
16
RENIEC.
17
Nor does Petitioner provide evidence that the municipality failed to provide RENIEC
18
with its available historical records. Mr. Reuben states that local registry offices were
19
“susceptible to all sorts of improper information handling and errors, including violations of
20
basic security rules that led to the unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and destruction of personal
21
data.” (ECF No. 57-1 at 5). Mr. Gallegos states that municipal governments process divorces and
22
keep the official records of marriages, and that individuals have to retrieve divorce records from
23
municipalities and deliver them to RENIEC. (ECF No. 57-4 at 2). However, Respondent offers
24
the marriage certificate of Maria and Gandolfo, the exact document that would contain an
25
annotation of their divorce. Presumably, RENIEC did obtain this official record of marriage from
26
the municipality. The document is not destroyed, and Petitioner does not argue that it has been
27
altered in any way.
28
Petitioner also does not provide any evidence that Maria’s divorce registration was
10
1
mishandled. Mr. Reuben states that during the 1970s and 1980s, the civil registries were poorly
2
supervised and municipal governments were corrupt and badly run. (ECF No. 57-1 at 4). Mr.
3
Gallegos states that during the 1970s and 1980s, individuals would dissolve marriages through
4
the Courts of Peace, but “documentation of divorce proceedings may not have been registered
5
with the local government office.” (ECF No. 57-4 at 2).
6
The registration of divorces is a ministerial duty. Under the commands of Peruvian law,
7
upon issuing a judicial divorce decree, a court must forward the decree to the official in charge of
8
vital records at the location where the relevant marriage certificate was issued. (ECF No. 56-7 at
9
2). And, upon receipt of such a divorce decree, the official in charge of vital records must note
10
the divorce in the margin of the marriage certificate. Id. Petitioner does not provide evidence that
11
a particular judge, official in charge of vital records, or another public official failed to perform
12
their ministerial duty. Petitioner only provides evidence that during the 1970s and 1980s,
13
documentation of divorce proceedings may not have been registered with local government
14
offices, and municipalities were not good at their jobs.

In the end, given that it is undisputed that Petitioner’s mother had a prior marriage, it is
16
Petitioner’s burden to put forth some evidence such that a reasonable jury could find that his
17
mother was divorced. Petitioner has no such evidence. All available records indicate that
18
Petitioner’s mother was not divorced. Petitioner’s evidence regarding deficiencies in Peruvian
19
record keeping raises some question of whether it could theoretically be possible for her to be
20
divorced without any record or other evidence. But this theoretical question is insufficient to
21
raise a genuine dispute of fact or otherwise meet Petitioner’s burden to prove his derivative
22
citizenship. Therefore, on the record before the Court, Petitioner cannot meet his burden of
23
establishing by a preponderance of the evidence that his biological parents were legally
24
separated. Accordingly, Respondent is entitled to summary judgment.
