United States Eleventh Circuit

Because 8 U.S.C. section 1252(a)(2)(C) only allows judicial review of the purely statutory question of retroactivity concerning a decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals, the court lacked jurisdiction to review a final order of removal issued pursuant to a charge of deportability as an alien convicted of an aggravated felony.
