[4] Upon his return,he was put into deportation proceedings for allegedly avoiding the draft. Bea suggested to the immigration judge that he be drafted to cure the apparent violation,but the judge refused as the Korean War had already ended. Bea won his appeal at the Board of Immigration Appeals,opining that the lower court had abused its discretion. After having his residency reinstated and accumulating the requisite physical presence,Bea petitioned for and became a naturalized citizen in 1959. He attended Stanford Law School and received his Juris Doctor in 1958. He was in private practice in California after that,but in 1990 he became a trial judge on the San Francisco County Superior Court. He served there until his appointment to the Ninth Circuit in 2003.
