             The appellant is a citizen of Angola, born in 1986. He is said to have arrived in the UK in about 1994 when he was eight years of age. He was granted Indefinite leave to remain ("ILR") in July 2002.
             On 10 October 2016 he was convicted of wounding with intent for which he was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. The appellant has a number of other criminal convictions.
             On 20 January 2020 the respondent made a decision to make a deportation order. The appellant appealed to the First-tier Tribunal ("FtT") against that decision and his appeal came before First-tier Tribunal Judge Easterman on 13 August 2020. Judge Easterman dismissed his appeal on asylum, humanitarian protection and human rights grounds.
             Permission to appeal Judge Easterman's decision was granted by a judge of the Upper Tribunal ("UT"). Thus, the appeal comes before me.
             The following is a summary only of parts of Judge Easterman's decision. He noted that the appeal was no longer pursued on asylum and humanitarian protection grounds, but only in terms of Article 8 in relation to private and family life. S.72 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 ("the 2002 Act")(presumption of serious crime and danger to the community) did not require further consideration, Judge Easterman concluded, in the light of the fact that the appellant was not pursuing his asylum claim.
